“Do not let your heart be troubled, trust in God.” (John 14:1)
Lord,
We pray for revival. Bring revival in our families in our nation. We pray for spiritual awakening in America.
Dr. Patrick Morley (a Florida businessman who founded Man in the Mirror, a non-profit organization to help men find meaning and purpose in life) writes about revivals in America: The Great Awakening (1734-43); The Second Great Awakening (1800-1840); The Businessmen’s Revival of 1857; The Civil War Revival (1861-65); The Urban Revivals (1875-1885); The Revivals of 1905-06; The Azusa Street Revival (1906); The Post World War Awakening; the Charistmatic Renewal and Jesus Movement; the 1970 Asbury College Revival, the mid-1990s Revivals; and The Promise Keepers Revival.
We can now ask: “Is America Ripe for Revival Today?” How can we hasten revival today? Dr. Morley suggests humble repentant prayer. “Let us pray that God will have mercy on us all.”
