Let’s pray Psalm 85 on this 19th day of our 31 days of dedicated prayer for spiritual
AWAKENING for our nation.
Let’s specifically make Vs. 4 – 7 our prayer for spiritual awakening for us as His church –
“Restore us again, God our Savior,
and put away your displeasure toward us.
Will you be angry with us forever?
Will you prolong your anger through all generations?
Will you not revive us again,
that your people may rejoice in you?
Show us your unfailing love, Lord,
and grant us your salvation.”
THANKS: Thank you, Father, that in this very troubled world, my life is hidden with Christ
and I have the privilege to follow you and be used by you as your Spirit changes me into
your likeness.
CONFESSION: Sadly, Lord, I can go through the motions of relating to you without truly
seeking you with my whole heart; forgive me, restore me, and change me.
PETITION: Lord, awaken me to your voice and revive my passion for you and your ways,
that I might rejoice only in you. Deepen my love of you and your Word so that I might walk
humbly with you, sharing your like-ness and love with others.
WORD: Lord Jesus, might it be true of me that “the life I now live ... I live by faith in the
Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20 ). Holy Spirit, make
this promise real in me, that I might be a living witness of the gospel’s transforming power.
