Will You not revive us and bring us to life again, That Your people may rejoice in You?<\/em>\u00a0 Psalm 85:6<\/p>\n

Today we are praying for revival in this generation.\u00a0 We should be praying for this daily, so let\u2019s focus on this today and then make it a point to pray for it daily, for every day we see signs of moral decay and a rise in sinfulness.
\nMany preachers and modern-day prophets are saying we are in the end times.\u00a0 We ourselves can see that the world is changing, and not for the better.\u00a0 Evil is blatantly promoted in much of our music and movies, church attendance is down, and often it is difficult to find a true bible believing church to attend.\u00a0 Therefore, we believers need to be in prayer that God will send a revival in this generation so that many who are lost will be saved and those believers who are backslidden, asleep spiritually, or are lukewarm will be revived.
\nSatan knows his time is short and he is becoming more active than ever, therefore, so should we believers become more active also.\u00a0 We need to be sure to wear our armor every day, stand firm in our faith, and pray for revival, for as scripture says in 2Peter 3:9, the Lord\u00a0is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.<\/i><\/p>\n

God said in 2Chronicles 7:14 \u201cif My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Dear God,
\nI humbly come before You in repentance for any sin I may have committed against You, and I seek Your face and Your forgiveness.\u00a0 I pray this prayer not only for myself but also for this generation.\u00a0 I pray for this land.\u00a0 I pray, dear God, that You will heal Your people and our land and renew and revive us.\u00a0 I pray You will convict all people of sin and that they would turn from their wicked ways and be healed spiritually.\u00a0 I pray that You would give Your people a spirit of revival in our hearts, and that You would rise up young and old in this generation who will seek righteousness and truth.\u00a0\u00a0 Send a fresh outpouring of Your Spirit to revive, renew and restore Your people so we may make a difference in our world today.\u00a0 Thank You for hearing this prayer God.\u00a0 I look forward to seeing what You will do in this generation. In Jesus name I pray.\u00a0 Amen.<\/p>\n
