Dear Friend in Christ, we are delighted that you will join us in prayer for
spiritual revival and national renewal. Our nation is in need of both. Jesus
declared that His followers are the salt of the earth and the light of the
world (Matthew 5:13-16). We must become engaged in this battle for our
nation’s soul. However, until as Christians we experience revival in our own
lives, it will be extremely difficult to restore our nation’s moral foundations.
The battle for our nation’s soul is not just about voting booths. This is
first and foremost a spiritual contest. A spiritual battle is being waged
across our nation, and it must be met first of all with spiritual weapons.
God’s people must pray for a great outpouring of God’s Spirit on them,
the churches, and the nation. Then, when God has responded with His
outpouring, His people will be empowered and motivated to do the hard
work of restoring our nation’s moral foundation.
This Prayer Guide will help you join with thousands of other fellow believers
to bring these great needs before God. The Guide provides a page for each
day and hour of the 40/40 Prayer Vigil. Each page has everything you need
to invest in a time of personal spiritual reflection and petition for yourself,
the church, and the nation. Please keep in mind though, that the Guide
is just that — a guide. It is designed to give you a starting place for your
time of prayer. Here are some suggestions for making your prayer vigil a
powerful, personal spiritual time.
Thank you for entering into this Prayer Vigil with us. We look forward to
watching what God does as His people meet His conditions for spiritual
revival and national renewal. We pray God will do a great work in and
through each of our lives as we meet with Him in prayer.
