Revere! Revive! Reveal!

It isn’t uncommon to feel like our prayer lives can be filled with generic requests (e.g., “God bless this church.”). The problem with vague generalities in prayer is that it is difficult to be passionate about them and it is also hard to know whether the request has been answered. Pastor John has given us some very specific items to be praying for. Here they are again to aid you in praying specifically for this church. Keep these requests in mind as you pray together with your Life Group.

Revere - Pray that God would work in our hearts to help us admire and treasure His glory, particularly, its display in this church. Pray that we’ll be so caught up in the greatness of God that our small, fleeting, private pursuits fade away and lose their grip on us.

Revive - Pray that God would bring great spiritual awakening (revival) to this church and to our city at large. Pray for the specific components of revival such as zeal for personal holiness, eagerness in turning away from sin, love for God’s truth, genuine concern for one another, compassion for the loss, boldness in our evangelistic witness, etc.

Reveal - Pray that God would make it unmistakably clear how He would have you participate in His work here at Harvest. Pray for God to stir up within you a fresh passion to serve Him in a way that is consistent with how He has gifted you to serve AND a specific opportunity to focus your passion and gifts.
