How do we pray for spiritual renewal in our communities? There is a link between the renewal of the individual and community-wide transformation we often dream of in revival type situations. Here is a prayer that joins the two together…

Dear Father,

I know that salvation belongs to you and so I pray for the awakening and enlightening of hearts in ever expanding circles from:

Households to whole streets

Neighbourhoods to whole communities

Small villages to bulging towns

Vibrant cities to diverse regions

Distinct nations to massive continents

Until your glory is seen and savored by men, women and children from every tribe and tongue.

Amen
