DAY 26: The Urgent Need for Acholi People to Wake Up from Spiritual Slumber and Commit Themselves to Spiritual Warfare.

DAY 26 OF 40 DAYS: The Urgent Need for Acholi People to Wake Up from Spiritual Slumber and Commit Themselves to Spiritual Warfare.

 86) Prayer of Revival and Spiritual Awakening for Acholi People, to Take Their Kingdom Place, in Jesus’ Name.

It’s often during times of greatest darkness or difficulty that God’s Spirit moves, powerfully among His people. Stirring hearts, getting our attention, and alerting us to change that needs to happen, both in our own lives and our world.

We see it over and over again, in the Bible — stories of great revival, renewed. spiritual awakening, God’s Spirit at work, right in the midst of huge turmoil and hard circumstances. For when we come to the end of ourselves, then we’re able to admit our own weakness and sin, or we have fresh eyes to see how this world can never truly satisfy the places in our hearts that only God can fill. We’re acutely aware once again of our need for His mercy, forgiveness, and the filling of His Spirit.

Sometimes it’s hard to even know how to pray. We just know we have a deep ache in our hearts that cries out for God’s help, and a longing to see him heal the brokenness in our lives and world. He reminds us that He sees our hearts, He hears our cries, He knows the way — and He is here. Close.

Forever faithful and loving to the broken-hearted. Always supporting those whose hearts are completely His. “For the eyes of the LORD roam throughout the earth, so that He may strongly support those whose hearts are completely His.” 

2 Chronicles 16:9.
This is what Acholi Nation needs now; Prayer for Revival and Awakening in Our Lives and World: Dear God, we come before your throne of grace, and mercy, as the Acholi People today, humbly, needy of your grace, praying for the power of your Holy Spirit to fill us afresh. We ask for your forgiveness in all the ways we’ve wandered so far from your presence. We’re now distressed and in dire need of your healing and grace. We are desperate to have our hope restored in you. Thank you for reminding us that you are always faithful and that you’re constantly at work on behalf of your children the Acholi people – powerfully, completely, drawing us closer to you again, through Christ Jesus.

Forgive us for drifting away from you, for being taken in by all that the world has to offer, and for allowing other things to become more important in our lives. We bring you these places we’re hurting, the broken pieces that maybe others can’t see, but you alone are able to fully understand. You know the pain we’ve carried, all the burdens and cares. You know where we still need to be set free. We pray for your healing and power to cover every broken place, and to renew our hearts in you again.

Help us to live aware, to choose wisely, to stay close to you, and anchored in your truth. Thank you for your great love and mercy. Thank you that you patiently wait for us to return, and that you call us to yourself, and strengthen us in our weakness.

Wake us up Lord! Remind us to live aware, to redeem the time, to listen to your words, to be willing to make a difference in the places you’ve called us to be. Thank you for your mighty power that acts on behalf of your children. Out of your kindness Lord, extend to us your grace and freedom. Cover us with your protection. Empower us with your strength. We ask for an awakening of your presence in our own lives and in the world around us, as we’ve never seen before. We pray for your help to be faithful to proclaim your name, and that all the enemy’s plans to silence the name of Jesus would be crushed.

We pray that by your Spirit living and breathing through us, we would be light and love in a world that so desperately needs your hope. Draw many to know you as Savior and Lord. Shine your light, push back the forces of darkness that surround us. By your great power Lord, open the blind eyes and release those still imprisoned.

We pray that you would unify the Acholi people for your great glory, and that all the Acholi People would stand together in your power and peace. We ask for seasons of refreshing to fill our lives and the days ahead. We pray for your comfort and healing in our world. Shine on us dear God. Restore our lives and help us to be wise to redeem the time. Thank you that you will never waste our pain and suffering in this life, but that you alone are able to turn it around for good. Thank you that nothing is impossible with you. Your same power that broke prison chains, raised the dead, healed the sick, and parted the seas — your same amazing power is still at work today. Thank you for your reminders that you are always with us, helping us, and that you haven’t lost control, even when things feel uncertain around us. All your plans and purposes will prevail, for you alone are mighty! We believe and trust you to do extraordinary miracles in our lives — in Acholiland — in our world. We need you now more than ever before. Our times are in your hands. We love you Lord. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Heavenly Father, as we prayerfully read these Verses for Your Revival and Renewal, so let it come to pass that you make them apply and be done in the lives of Acholi People and Nation, in Jesus’ name. Lord, as we pray Your words back to You, over our lives, our families, and world. We believe that You hear our prayers; You know our needs. There’s great power in uniting together, turning our hearts towards You, our God, confessing our needs, and praying on behalf of the entire Acholi Nation.
