Psalm 85:1-13
Help
us, Lord, to pray for revival – ‘Restore us again, O God our Saviour…
Will You not revive us again that Your people may rejoice in You?’(Psalm
85:4,6). Help us to pray that You will ‘grant us Your salvation.’ Help
us to pray that ‘Your saving presence will remain in our land’, that
‘Your glory may dwell in our land’(Psalm 85:7,9). Help us to pray for
real listening – ‘I will listen to what God the Lord will say’- , a real
turning to You – ‘turning to You in our hearts’- , and a real sense of
Your blessing – ‘You will speak peace to Your people’(Psalm 85:8). Teach
us, Lord, that prayer for revival does not begin as a prayer for
others. It begins with ourselves: ‘O Holy Ghost, revival comes from
Thee; send a revival – start the work in me’. It begins with this prayer: “Lord, take my life, and make it wholly Thine; fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine.’
