‘Awake,
awake!... O arm of the Lord; awake, as in days gone by... The ransomed
of the Lord will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting
joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them... I am
the Lord your God... I have put My words in your mouth...’ (Isaiah 51:9,11,15-16).
Teach us, Lord, to pray for revival in this generation. Help us to pray for a revival of
joyful worship and a revival of powerful preaching. Where will
revival come from? It comes from You, Lord. You hear the prayers of His
people - ‘Awake, awake!... O arm of the Lord; awake, as in days gone
by’. You answer the prayers of His people - ‘The ransomed of the Lord
will return... Gladness and joy will overtake them’. Revival comes when
You send Your Word of power - ‘I am the Lord your God... I have put My
words in your mouth.’
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
