Revival 2010: Day 24

³⁹ Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. ⁴⁰ On reaching the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation." ⁴¹ He withdrew about a stone's throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, ⁴² "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." ⁴³ An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. ⁴⁴ And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

⁴⁵ When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. ⁴⁶ "Why are you sleeping?" he asked them. "Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation."

Father, today we ask for grace from You to be filled with the same fervency and passion that Jesus had as He prayed. Lord, we confess that we as watchmen have fallen asleep. Our disappointments, our failed expectations, our own fears, things that have distracted us all cause us to fall asleep to what is going on, Lord. Will You AWAKEN our spirits, Lord, to see that You are only a stone's throw away from us pleading with the Father. We trust Your faithfulness and we THANK You God, that You have given us the opportunity to pray, that You allow us to cme before Your throne and make our pleas to You, and that You take ear to our cries. Give us deep desire to see You move on the UCSD campus, God. Release a holy dissatisfaction with things as they are now, release compassion that we will not watch passively as our campus remains in its current state, and release insatiable hunger to see Your love and Your glory and the fullness of Your will and spirit come to this campus.

Awaken us from our sleep, God, and we will not be disappointed as we awaken and faithfully walk in the path You have laid out for us. As the ones who love You, Lord, help us to keep our eyes on You and awaken our spirits and ignite our hearts for Your name, that we might pray and take action where You are calling us, knowing that You have so much planned for UCSD, Your campus. Thank You that You want to pour out Your spirit, God, and show us Your glory. Help us to stay close to You so that we will allow You to move freely, God. Thank You that You choose to work through us! Oh Lord, awaken us to You again!
