From Self-Centered to God-Centered
From Self-Centered to God-Centered
Lord, we humbly ask You
for a revival of hearts and minds.
If you’ve glanced at the news headlines lately, is it any wonder that we live in a sinful world?
Which begs the question: is it too late for our nation to turn back to God?
First, we must repent of our sins and remember that God brought us life-saving grace through the name which is above every other name, Jesus Christ.
This is the Gospel’s good news that can change lives, even in the darkest of places.
A necessary pre-cursor of any great spiritual awakening is a spirit of deep humiliation growing out of a consciousness of sin, and fresh revelation of the holiness and power and glory of God.
– John Raleigh Mott, American evangelist.1
Nationwide repentance can transform us from having lives that are self-centered to God-centered.
I don’t know about you, but I am praying for a revival and, if it is in God’s providence, that it will happen soon.
To God be the Glory!
Do you need inspiration for your own spiritual revival prayer request?
The following poem inspired me so I’m eager to share.
We Need A Revival
Lord, we need a revival,
a head bobbing, banner raising
hand clapping, foot stomping
Holy Spirit filled revival.
Lord we need an awakening,
a gospel preaching, heart turning
sin repenting, life changing
Holy Spirit filled awakening.
Lord we need a quickening,
a daily living, life-long giving
fruit bearing, love sharing
Holy Spirit filled quickening.
Lord, we need a renewal,
a world reaching, grace saving
thirst quenching, mind drenching
Holy Spirit filled renewal.
Lord, we need a revival,
a roof raising, earthshaking
God-fearing, soul saving
Holy Spirit filled revival!
