Praying for Our Church | Day 16

Praying for our Spiritual Level

Lord, I lift up the spiritual temperature of my church. Revive us! Refine us so that we burn hot for You. Give us singleness of heart and action so that we always fear You and follow Your precepts. Pour out a spirit of Josiah on us so that we turn to You heart, soul and strength. Open our minds to under- stand Your Word so that our hearts burn within us. (Ps. 85:6; Rev. 3:14-18; Jer. 32:39; Ps. 111:10; 2 Ki. 23:25; Lk. 24:45, 32)

Psalm 85:6

Will you not revive us again,
that your people may rejoice in you?

Revelation 3:14-18

“And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation.

15 “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. 17 For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.

Jeremiah 32:39

I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their own good and the good of their children after them.

Psalm 111:10

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever!

2 Kings 23:25

Before him there was no king like him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses, nor did any like him arise after him.

Luke 24:45, 32

Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,

They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?”
