Pray for Repentance: Mark 2 17 When Jesus heard, He said to them, They who are strong have no need of a physician, but the ones who have illness. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Luke 3 8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham Pray for Forgiveness: 2 Chronicles 6 39 Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee Psalms 86 5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Daniel 9 19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for your own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.

Greeks} 14 For the body is not one member, but many. Pray for Revival: Psalms 85 6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?

Isaiah 57 15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. Habakkuk 3 2 O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
