A PRAYER FOR OUR TEPID TIMES

Adapted from Yes Lord, May You Save Us!

Yes Lord, may You save us. May You save us from weak-kneed effete Christian cowards today afraid of their own spiritual shadow who masquerade as ministers of God. May You wake up Your Church and give us eyes to see the dark red sky this morning.

O Lord, send us some real men of God anointed to preach the Gospel in the Holy Spirit with power! Men who know the hour grows late and who have the baptism of boldness to preach to the crowds:

“You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. The axe is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.” (Luke 3:7-9)

And God, may You raise up men powerful in Christ whose hearts break with Your compassion for those trapped in their sin; may they love these people enough to tell them the Truth: Repent or perish. In Jesus’ Name, may You bring those still lost home to You. Amen.
