Prayers for revival

NICK EICHER, HOST: Today is Friday, November 8th. Good morning! This is The World and Everything in It from listener-supported WORLD Radio. I’m Nick Eicher.

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: And I’m Myrna Brown. A week ago we asked you to send in encouraging scripture readings and intercessory prayers for our nation and the election. We got more than 60 responses. Thank you so much for helping us approach this election prayerfully.

BRAD SHED: Lord God as many are desiring a profound change in the political landscape of our land, we ask for a profound change in the spiritual landscape of our land. We ask that you would come and intervene and move on people's hearts, in people's homes, and in people's churches. Lord may we truly come together to see you do a revival in our land, where our hearts cry out to you to come and move. We ask it in Jesus' name. Amen.

CARLOS WHITFIELD: Lord, we pray desperately that you would bring about, as you have in the past, a great awakening among the people of America. Enliven and awaken people to the reality, the beauty, the appeal, and the eternal blessing of the gospel, and cause them to respond to the gospel Lord, even as we speak it through our own lips and demonstrate it through our own lives. And we pray that more people than ever before will be opened, will be awakened, will be enlivened by the proclamation of the gospel, and respond, Lord, with saving faith. This is a desperate desire we have, and we lift it up to you, father in Christ's name. Amen.

JESSICA ABELLA: Heavenly Father, we as your people, confess that in so many ways, our nation has not loved and served and feared and obeyed you as it ought, Lord. So we pray that you would raise up godly men and women as leaders of our nation. But even more so Lord, that You would turn the hearts of the people of this land towards you, that they would confess their sin, and turn and trust in you as their only hope for salvation. In Your name, we pray. Amen.

SHERRY GRAF: Hosea 10:12. “Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap steadfast love. Break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord that He may come and reign righteousness upon you.”

SOFIA ELLIOT: Father, thank You for our country. Thank you for all of the blessings that you have poured upon us. I grieve at the wickedness and the turning our back on you in so many ways. Lord, there are so many people who hate you. So many people have turned away from your word and your truth. Please, would you cause a revival in our country, not because of a leader that is brought into office, but because people are brought to their knees before you, and they see the truth of your word. How they need you, and they need to be reconciled with you. I love you, Father and ask these things in the name of Your Son. Amen.

JUDY STEPHAN: Dearest Lord, what we see with our eyes in our country and in this world deceives us, but what we hear from you, Jesus, sets us free to hope and trust in you, for our nation and our world's future. Amen.

KIM TURKINGTON: Father God, for those of us who fear you, who walk with you and who love you, Lord that You are our hope, that we wait in hope for you, because you are our help and our shield. So Lord, we just offer you our praise and our worship. And through this time of uncertainty in our land, Lord, we know that we can be secure and we can rest in you, because you never change. You're the same yesterday, today and forever, and we trust you Lord, and we just rest in who you are, and we praise you. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

NATHAN FAHLIN: This is from Numbers 6:24-26. “The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”
