Looking In
. I bow before You as God. You are in charge of everything. Please
give me the desire and power to obey You in every moment. (Daniel 4:34-35;
Philippians 2:13)
. I reaffirm that my relationship with You is my first priority. Teach
me to stay close to You like Jesus did, rejecting pride which leads to
destruction, and embracing humility which leads to abundant life. (John
14:10-11; John 15:1-17; 1 Peter 5:5-6)
. I submit to the authority of the Bible to guide me. Would You reveal
any thought, attitude, or action in my life that does not conform to
Scripture and to the image of Jesus? (2 Timothy 3:16; James 1:19-27;
Galatians 5:16-24)
. I honestly confess my sins before You, naming them specifically
before You now and asking for forgiveness. I promise to repent of whatever
You show me to be sin, now or in the future. (Joel 2:12-13; 1 John 1:9-10)
. My desire is to be attentive and obedient to the promptings of the
Holy Spirit. Would You fill me with Your power and fullness? (Galatians
5:25; Ephesians 3:16-19)
Lord, let revival begin in Me.

Looking Up
. Please give me a healthy fear of You. Move me to care more about
Your opinion than I care about the opinions of others. (Proverbs 1:7; 29:25)
. Show me the depth of my need for You, and shatter my
self-sufficiency. (John 15:5; 2 Corinthians 3:5)
. Change my mindset so that prayer becomes my first response in every
situation. May I seek You in all things. (Philippians 4:6-7; Matthew 6:33)
. Help me to put all my hope in You. I confess any misplaced trusts,
including dependence on military might, political power, or economic
strength. (Psalm 43:5; Psalm 20:7)
. Increase my faith in Your ability to intervene supernaturally in my
life and in the world. Would You do miracles by Your Spirit in, through, and
around me? (Hebrews 11:6; Mark 9:23)
. Cause the glory and fame of Jesus Christ to become my greatest
passion and pursuit. Please send revival to make Jesus known throughout the
earth and to fulfill Your promises to exalt Your Son. (Ephesians 1:15-23;
Colossians 1:15-20)
Lord, I seek YOUR face.

Looking Out
. Help me to be a prayer warrior who perseveres in seeking You day
after day, joining in the spiritual battle to see strongholds of the enemy
torn down in my life, family, church, community, and nation. (Luke 18:1-8; 2
Corinthians 10:3-5)
. Send an outpouring of Your Spirit that will rapidly advance the
gospel and glory of Jesus Christ throughout the whole earth. (Isaiah 11:1-9;
1 Thessalonians 1:2-10)
. Please increase the fervency and urgency of my prayers for spiritual
awakening, and use me to make prayer contagious to others. (Mark 1:35; 1
Thessalonians 5:17)
. Allow me to influence other believers in my circle of relationships
to unite in prayer until our homes and churches become “houses of prayer”.
(Mark 11:17; 1 Timothy 2:1-3)
. Give me faith to believe Your promise to move toward those who move
toward You in humility and prayer. Thank You that You will forgive and
restore all those who call on Your name. (James 4:6-10; Jeremiah 18:7-10)
Lord, let Your KINGDOM come.
