My prayer for this time in our country and world is that the truest form of revival would come. Not just meetings in buildings, but Emmanuel, “God with us” invading our lives and families and neighborhoods. That we would experience a greater measure of compassion for our brothers and sisters, and that Jesus would heal our land from fear, racism and hopelessness. That marriages would be restored and the broken would find wholeness in the stunning redemption and mercy of Jesus. May revival come in a way we didn’t even know was possible.
