Key Verse:

“Wilt thou not revive us again:

that thy people may rejoice in thee?”

— Psalm 85:6

Rooted Truth:

Revival doesn’t begin in a nation or a church—it begins in a heart that realizes how desperately it needs God.

Faith Story:

In 1904, the Welsh Revival swept across the nation, led by a young preacher named Evan Roberts. His constant prayer was simple yet powerful:

“Lord, bend us.”

Before thousands were saved, before churches were filled, before the nation turned—God bent a few hearts in prayer.

That’s where revival always begins.

Not in noise, but in need.

Not in crowds, but in contrition.

The psalmist’s cry, “Wilt Thou not revive us again?” wasn’t a question of God’s ability—it was a confession of spiritual poverty. When our hearts grow cold, our worship mechanical, and our prayers half-hearted, we need the breath of God to stir the embers again.

Revival is not about hype or emotion—it’s about returning to the holy presence of the living God until we burn with His love once more.

Scripture for Deeper Roots:

Habakkuk 3:2 – “O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years…”

Isaiah 57:15 – “…to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.”

Psalm 80:18 – “So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.”

Daily Practice:

Find a quiet place and pray honestly: “Lord, show me my need for revival.” Ask Him to reveal where your heart has grown cold, and invite His Spirit to breathe new life into you.

Daily Prayer:

Lord, I need You. Revive my heart again. Stir what has grown cold and awaken what has fallen asleep. Let my life burn with the fire of Your presence, that others may see and glorify You. Amen.

Deep Reflection:

• Where have you sensed spiritual dryness in your life?

• What areas of your walk with God need fresh fire and renewal?

• What would personal revival look like for you this week?
