REVIVE US!

"GOD, God-of-Heaven, the great and awesome God, loyal to your covenant and faithful to those who love you and obey your commands: Look at me and hear my prayer. Pay attention to this prayer of your servant that I am praying day and night in intercession for your servants, the people of the islands of the sea, confessing the sins of the people. And I am including myself, I and my ancestors, my brothers and sisters among those who have sinned against you.


"We have treated you like you are nothing: We have not done what you told us, have not followed your commands, and have not respected the decisions and instructions you have given unto us. You said if we come back to you and do what you tell us to do, you will mark us with your name, deliver us and revive us.

"Well, here we are — your servants, your people whom you so powerfully and impressively redeemed. O Master, listen to me, listen to your servant's prayer—and yes, to all your servants who delight in honoring you—and make me successful today so that I receive what I pray for."

Open the heavens and come down, make yourself known unto me and your people in the islands of the sea and make manifest your name in all the earth. REVIVE US AGAIN!
