Pray for revival

And he [Jesus] said to Peter, "So, could you not watch with me one hour?"
--Matthew 26:40
Have you ever noticed how often our self confidence leads to a lack of dependence upon the Lord in prayer?
You and I get so busy that we take our eyes off him and when our focus is off the Lord, we are set up for spiritual failure. If you don't believe me, ask Simon Peter. Remember before his arrest, when Jesus found Simon Peter sleeping rather than praying? Well, at that moment, prayerlessness was Peter's downfall.
I believe prayerlessness is one of the biggest issues facing the American church today. We know we need a cultural revolution and that we are headed for disaster unless God's people return to him. But too often the church tries to fight the cultural battle with physical weapons.
So let me remind you that the agenda of the church is not just stopping abortion, or the gay agenda, or the demise of the culture through the media.
Even though we want these things to stop, the only way we will win these battles is on our knees in prayer. The only way America will change is one life at a time… one heart at a time. And that means God's people must be in prayer.
Let's get our eyes off ourselves and back on God. Without him we can do nothing.
THE ONLY WAY AMERICA WILL CHANGE IS
ONE LIFE AT A TIME… ONE HEART AT A TIME.

OUR THANKS TO YOU!
Dear Friend,
Do the words rested... peaceful... and refreshed describe you today? Or do the words stressed... rushed... and pressured better describe your way of life?
If you're like most Christians, you'd probably have to admit those last three words more accurately describe your life most of the time!
The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way... even when your life is one big pressure-cooker. And in my new book, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out, I'll show you why.
Based on the principles from Paul's letter to the Philippians and Psalm 23, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out will help you find true peace and rest in a world that is anything but peaceful and restful. It's the perfect "pause" button you need!
So please request your copy of Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out when you give online today! --Jack Graham
