Lord, it is so easy to get caught up in the things of this life.

Give me a heart that longs for the things of life that really matter. Give me a thirst for the living water of Your word.

We are surrounded by lies, deception, false teachers. We cry for fairness and justice even knowing that we live in a fallen world. In vain we fret over what others are doing. Open our eyes Lord and make us see that what is needed is a a hunger for truth. We need revival; yes, in our land and in the church, but first of all in our hearts.

Bring Your people back to the joy of our salvation. Restore in us the power of the gospel. Remind us Lord that a watered down gospel is no gospel at all; easy faith is weak faith. Lord, raise up Your people to boldly proclaim Your name.

It is our only hope.
