Bring us to repentance - true repentance - that we will turn from the world and our flesh toward the cause and the cross of Christ. That we will turn and face You, to worship and to follow.
Have compassion on us. Mercy and compassion on those depressed and in despair. Raise a standard, that those called by Your Name would look up and see.
Purge us and purify us - from compromise, from religion, from humanism. Purify our hearts, our motives, our words, our bodies, our minds.
Please tell us that all is not lost. Please speak to all of your men who, right now, feel lost and alone. Please, Holy Spirit, go and visit each one who feels helpless and defeated. Speak the truth, undeniably, into each heart. Speak to our hearts that we may be revived.
Restoration. Please restore us. Restore the wounded and broken-hearted. Restore the hopeless and depressed. Restore the disillusioned and disappointed. Restore the abusers and the abused. Restore Your men, Father.
Rom. 12:1-2
Praise God - I am a woman, but I felt this prayer in my heart while reading it. Thank you for sharing this - It is a pray of total surrender to our Lord Jesus. Thank you. Many blessings ~ Alice
