Jesus, thank You for moving in our world throughout the ages and still showing Your presence to us today. We ask that You keep moving through our land with a sweeping revival that takes every generation by storm, so much so that we feel the impact directly in our own homes. Lord, we ask that You include us in Your plans to make Yourself known here in 2025. That we not only explore and experience Your love, but that we express it. Use us to be Your hands and feet, showing Your love to those outside of our own circles. Grow our trust in You so that we can express Your love and generosity wherever the plan You have for us may lead. We ask this in Your most holy Name - Amen.
