<p style="text-align: start;">My name is Mark Vance. I’m lead pastor at Cornerstone Church in Ames, Iowa. Let’s pray together.</p><p style="text-align: start;">Father in Heaven, we acknowledge You as holy. Your name be honored as holy. Your kingdom come and Your will be done, God, on Earth the way that it is in Heaven. Thank You for providing for us our daily bread. You’re the giver of every good gift. Forgive us, God, the way that we would forgive those who’d sin against us, and don’t lead us into temptation. Lord, deliver us from the evil one. It’s Your kingdom. It’s Your glory. It’s Your power that matter most of all.</p><p style="text-align: start;">And we need You, Father, to send Your kingdom here on Earth. Father, we look to You and we pray that Your kingdom would come, Your will would be done here in our country, in America. Right now, God, we just look around and we see a culture that has been just so overtaken by worldliness and secularism.</p><p style="text-align: start;">Father, we need a fresh movement of Your Spirit. And so we’re asking You for that. From around this nation, God, we’re crying out that You would send Your Spirit to bring a great revival. A third great awakening, God, is what I’ve been praying for, that I could see it in my lifetime, that You would bring it, God. It’s Your power alone that can do this. And so we’re asking for it.</p><p style="text-align: start;">And in a particular way, God, my heart is just drawn to pray for the next generation, to pray for university students all across this country. I’m a dad with a kid going to college at a major university next year. And so, Lord, I just pray that the openness we’re beginning to see stir among young people all around America would continue. God, that for a generation that has seen the false lies of secularism, they would find the truth of Jesus Christ, and that their hearts would be drawn to know Him and to love Him and to worship Him.</p><p style="text-align: start;">So, Father, send Your Spirit, bring a great revival, and bring it especially among this next generation of college students around our country.</p><p style="text-align: start;">Lord, we ask it in the strong Name of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.</p>
