Holy Spirit, give us a lens of revelation as we lift our eyes to Heaven, where our help comes from. We are so thankful that You know our thoughts, our emotions, and our struggles. How comforting it is to know that Your precious Son, Jesus, walked through the same trials and temptations that we are enduring in this very moment.

Am I really born again? Do I have a real relationship or merely religion? Do I have enough oil in my spiritual lamp?Ĭlosing Prayers helps you answer these questions and more. Have you ever wondered why, after all the prayer conferences and prayer initiatives over the years, we haven’t seen revival yet?
