prayer for personal revival
Scripture for Reflection and Preparation
1 John 1:9 “9 if we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Mark 1:15
“15 ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of god has come near. repent and believe in the good news!’”
Luke 13:1-5 “1 at that time, some people came and reported to Him about the galileans whose blood pilate had mixed with heir sacrifices. 2 and He responded to them, ‘Do you think that these galileans were more sinful than all galileans because they suffered these things? 3 No, i tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as well! 4 Or those 18 that the tower in Siloam fell on and killed—do you think they were more sinful than all the people who live in Jerusalem? 5 No, i tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as well!’”
