Fresh Power

I'm rereading a book by Jim Cymbala that I read several years ago -- Fresh Power . . .

He had this prayer at the end of a chapter that really spoke to the heart of what I talked about Sunday and what we are seeking to experience in 60/60 . . . I encourage you to own it in your soul this morning . . .

"Dear Father, please stir our hearts to reach out for all that you have promised us. Forgive our carnality, our indifference to the spiritual realities around us, and our dependence on human resources rather than your power. Teach us to pray and wait upon you in humility and faith; send the wind and fire of Your Spirit upon us. Transform us into men and women who bear powerful witness in word and deed to the reality of Jesus Christ our Savior. We ask all of this in His precious Name. Amen."
