Prayer for Your People

       Father, I pray for revival.  I pray for revival in the hearts and minds of Your people.  I pray for revival in the local assemblies.  Let Your Spirit flow in Your people once again.  Open our hearts to Your Word and give us a renewed determination to spread Your gospel.  Lord, open the eyes of our spirit that we might see You for who You are, that we might see ourselves for who we are, and we might discern the enemy wherever he operates.
 
       Father, as a little spark sets a small area on fire, but then that fire receives oxygen and fuel that feeds it and causes it to grow consuming large areas, let Your Spirit ignite our hearts to passion for You and Your ways so that it grows to consume the world around us.  Let Your gifts flow in us again.  Help us desire to live holy lives in full dedication to Your service.  Lord, we want so much more of Your power displayed in our lives that all those around us know that You alone are the Almighty God and want You to be a part of their lives too.
 
Revive us, oh Lord, revive us in this land!
 
 

Will You not give us life again,
so that Your people may rejoice in You?
Ps 85:6
