WHY SHOULD WE PRAY FOR REVIVAL?
In the words of Arthur Tappan Pierson, “There has never been a spiritual awakening in any
country or locality that did not begin in united prayer” All revivals can trace their roots back to
the place of prayer and if we want to see the church revived again, we would need to give
ourselves, our time to prayer. No prayer, no revival! We must learn to start and end our day in
the place of prayer. We must commit to intense and earnest prayer and when we are already
on fire, we can get others to join us in prayer. Start Now⽞ You can start praying now and always
with these prayers.
PERSONAL REVIVAL PRAYERS

Create in me a clean heart, O God;
and renew a right spirit within me.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;
and uphold me with thy free spirit.

Oh Lord my Father, create in me a clean heart and purify my heart, that I may have the joy of my salvation restored to me, in the name of Jesus.
Psalms 42:1–2
As the hart panteth after the water brooks,
so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God:
when shall I come and appear before God?

My God and Father, rekindle Your fire in my spiritual life, that I may hunger and thirst for the Word of God, for prayers and fasting. Revive my spiritual alertness and my walk with You, in the name of Jesus.
REVIVAL PRAYERS FOR THE CHURCH

And by the hands of the apostles were many signs
and wonders wrought among the people;
