Will You Join Me In Praying for a Prayer Renewal?

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

Recently I was going through my journals and came across a prayer I had written about my dreams and desires that personal prayer would be revolutionized in our world today.  Tonight I’m going to meet with a group of women at my church who are called the Flame Bearers Prayer Group.  I’ve printed out the following prayer on stationary with angels on it and I’m going to ask them to join me in praying for a prayer movement to sweep our country.  If you’d like to join us, use the following prayer in any way that God leads: 

Would you join with me in praying that the

personal prayer lives of those near and far be

energized by God’s Holy Spirit?

 

I pray that your Spirit would go and seek out the in-

dividual lives where prayer is lifeless, colorless and

tired and nothing but duty and ritual.   

 

To find those whose prayers are held back by fear and

hopelessness, whose vision is clouded with doubt and

sorrow. 

 

To reach those who are already faithful in their prayers

that they might reach new levels of Grace and

spiritual growth through prayer.

 

To reach those who know very little about prayer, who have

never known it’s possible to pray to a God who hears and cares

and can change their lives forever.

 

To seek those going through crisis periods when they find it

hard to pray, and those who are having trouble praying because

they’re depressed and those who are so busy and focused on this

world that they forget to pray.

 

I pray that Your Spirit will uncover all spiritually thirsty ground

so that personal prayer will be revolutionized in our world today

according to God’s plan.

 

Let it be so.  Amen.
