Prayer for Personal Revival







Scripture for Reflection and Preparation


Psalm 51:10-12 “10 god, create a clean heart for me and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not banish me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. 12 restore the joy of your salvation to me, and give me a willing spirit.”



Philippians 1:9-11 “9 and i pray this: that your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment, 10 so that you can determine what really matters and can be pure and blameless in the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of god.”



2 Corinthians 13:5 “5 Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith. Examine yourselves.
Or do you not recognize for yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you?— unless you fail the test.”
