The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 13:7-8 (MSG)
7 A pretentious, showy life is an empty life; a plain and simple life is a full life.
8 The rich can be sued for everything they have, but the poor are free of such threats.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 85:1-7 (HCSB)
1 LORD, You showed favor to Your land; You restored Jacob's prosperity.
2 You took away Your people's guilt; You covered all their sin. Selah
3 You withdrew all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger.
4 Return to us, God of our salvation, and abandon Your displeasure with us.
5 Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger for all generations?
6 Will You not revive us again so that Your people may rejoice in You?
7 Show us Your faithful love, LORD, and give us Your salvation.
The Word of God for encouragement:
Luke 18:1-8 (HCSB)
1 He then told them a parable on the need for them to pray always and not become discouraged:
2 "There was a judge in a certain town who didn't fear God or respect man.
3 And a widow in that town kept coming to him, saying, 'Give me justice against my adversary.'
4 "For a while he was unwilling, but later he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or respect man,
5 yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice, so she doesn't wear me out by her persistent coming.'"
6 Then the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says.
7 Will not God grant justice to His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay [to help] them?
8 I tell you that He will swiftly grant them justice. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find that faith on earth?"
My prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I am so grateful that you are a God who welcomes the persistent prayers of your people.
Father God, the words of the Psalmist speaks into the depths of my heart this morning. My cry echoes the cry of the Psalmist; O God, we need a revival of your people.
Father God, quicken our hearts to repent, and turn to you. Father, send us a heaven sent, Holy Spirit revival to cleanse our hearts, and turn your people back to God.
Lord God Almighty, give your people the faith to pray until you send revival to sweep our homeland, so that your people may rejoice in You. Amen and Amen.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

1 Timothy 4:4-5 (HCSB)
4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing should be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,
5 since it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer.
