revive 2010: day 23

¹ For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,
for Jerusalem's sake I will not remain quiet,
till her righteousness shines out like the dawn,
her salvation like a blazing torch.
⁶ I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the LORD,
give yourselves no rest,
⁷ and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem
and makes her the praise of the earth.
isaiah 62:1, 6-7

LORD God Almighty i come today asking for the spirit of intercession to be poured out upon the intervarsity community. God i'm asking that you will stir up a hunger in intervaristy where people from all different backgrounds and denominations will become desperate to pray. i'm asking for people who don't need need persuasion to attend prayer meetings, but they just show up! God, i'm asking for you to pour out the spirit of intercession, where hundreds of people across intervarsity and different fellowships spontaneously develop a longing for Your presence to the point where they will be willing to rise in the night and sacrifice food just to seek you in prayer. God, such a hunger comes form you alone, so give your people the spirit of intercession! would you humble me, God, that i would understand that i can't make people want to pray. i can only make people feel like they ought to pray or i can tell them that they should pray. God, only you can make people want to pray, so would you move in the hearts of men and women. humble us, God that we would realize that we cannot do anything more on our own strength. humble us from our ministry strategies, our ability to worship, or any other ways we have depended on ourselves and not on you. help us to seek your power, and let us depend on the power of your Spirit alone. give us such a desperation, God.

LORD, raise up watchmen in intervarsity, who will give themselves no rest. raise up men and women of prayer, who will not stay silent until you show up. raise up people who will persevere and petition in the place of prayer until the fullness of your kingdom comes on earth as it is in heaven. raise up people who will contend for the spiritual dominion of UCSD--that you would break through. oh that You would rend the heavens and come down! break through, God. break through! for the sake of souls to be won at UCSD. God, send revival to UCSD in the name of Jesus.
