“Those who dwell under His shadow shall return; they shall be revived like grain and grow like a vine. Their scent shall be like the wine of Lebanon.” ~ Hosea 14:7
Lord, when I am weary, You are my strength. When I am overwhelmed and anxious, You are my peace. You are mighty, Lord!
You are compassionate and kind, faithful and true. You are my Beloved, and in that I find my heart’s desire.

Sometimes the busyness, the responsibilities, the struggles, and the broken places of life wear us down. We become parched — weary and disillusioned.
We need to be revived by Your precious Holy Spirit.
We need to be refreshed by Your grace that settles over us like the morning dew awakening the dry earth.
I hear You calling, Lord. I hear Your delicate whisper speaking to me, drawing me near, for in Your Presence is where I am revived. Beneath the shadow of Your wing is where I am refreshed.
Thank You for teaching me this.
I ask that You lead others into the same understanding — those who love You with all their hearts, souls, minds, and strength. Draw them to Yourself and pour life anew into their parched spirits.
I ask that You break the barriers that keep us from You — those deceptions, those responsibilities that may be good, but are not specific to Your plan for us. Teach us to cling to You for our strength — dwelling in Your Presence to drink from the wells of Your salvation.
Yes, Lord, revive us that we might serve You more — that we might worship You passionately in spirit and truth, that we might focus on that which You have put before us to accomplish for the building up of Your Kingdom.

Cause Your Living Water to flow over and through the broken places, washing away the debris left behind from the storm, and revive us.
You are an awesome God. As we abide in the shadow of Your Presence, set Your river to flow freely through us refreshing, restoring, and reviving. We need a touch from You, Lord.
In Jesus’ Name I pray,
Amen

This hymn “Revive Us Again” spoke to me, Nan, as I read your thought-provoking prayer. Thank You!! We praise Thee, O God! For the Son of Thy love, For Jesus Who died, And is now gone above. Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen. Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Revive us again. We praise Thee, O God! For Thy Spirit of light, Who hath shown us our Savior, And scattered our night. All glory and praise To the Lamb that was slain, Who hath borne all our sins, And hath cleansed every stain. All glory and praise To the God of all grace, Who hast brought us, and sought us, And guided our ways. Revive us again; Fill each heart with Thy love; May each soul be rekindled With fire from above.
Amen Jo-Ann! Amen! Thanks for sharing that. Powerful lyrics that I haven’t heard in quite awhile 🙂
