Prayer For Revival Of The Church
Father in Heaven, Lord God Almighty, We, your people, with broken hearts and contrite spirits come before you today as we mourn what has become of your church. Too many have turned away from the old paths where we walked with our fathers in the faith. They were men who would not tolerate sin in their midst but joyfully bore one another’s burdens. Today this is no longer so. Men have abdicated their responsibility to admonish the erring and instead have chosen silence in the face of great evil. Help return them to the Church. Bring your great revival so that they might feel your love as I do. In the name of Christ, I pray, Amen.

May men and women everywhere come to know Christ through faith in him alone for salvation, and may we see entire families, communities, and cities come to know him as well. May we abandon false religions and worldly doctrines that separate us from your truth, Lord. Bring us back to Your teachings and light. Amen.
