I am a part of a weekly gathering of pastors from around the country who are praying for revival. T.M. Moore, who organizes our prayer time, shared some fantastic thoughts about revival.
He said, “The better we know God’s word, way, righteousness, justice, and judgments, the more our prayers for revival will have the right focus, and be more likely to be heard and answered.”
By way of example, T.M. Moore shared some verses from Psalm 119. I think you will be able to spot the pattern pretty quickly—
- …revive me according to Your word (v. 25)
- …revive me in Your way (v. 37)
- …revive me in Your righteousness (v. 40)
- …revive me according to Your lovingkindness (v. 88)
- …revive me, O Lord, according to Your word (v. 107)
- …revive me according to Your justice (v. 149)
- …revive me according to Your word (v. 154)
- …revive me according to Your judgments (v. 156)
- …revive me, O Lord, according to Your lovingkindness (v. 159)
Praying for revival never comes on our terms, it’s always on God’s terms. Revival is never focused on me, it’s always focus on God.
By the way, if you would like to join me and these other pastors in our weekly prayer for revival, please send me a message and I will get you all of the details.
