We're spending the whole month of October here at Revive Our Hearts, crying out to the Lord.

I think we all recognize the seriousness of the times in which we live and the urgency,

the desperate need we have to cry out to the Lord to do what only he can do in our world.

In recent weeks, we've prayed for our families, for our churches,

for our nations. And this week, we want to turn our attention to our world at large.

To lead us in prayer today, here's Carrie Gall, who has served on the Revive Our Heart's

staff for many years and who has a deep passion in her heart to see the glory of the Lord

cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Here's Carrie. Father, we cry out to you today on

behalf of the nations. We thank you that you have promised that you will be exalted among the

nations. You will be exalted in all the earth.

We look forward to the day when we will stand before your throne with people from every tribe,

tongue, and we will worship you. We will praise you. We will glorify the king of kings and Lord of Lords. Today, Father,

the nations are in an uproar. The peoples are devising a vain thing. The kings of the earth

are taking their stand against you and against the Messiah. And you have told us that if we will come and ask of you,

you will give the nations as our inheritance. And so we come asking, O Lord of the Harvest,

would you send forth workers? Would you raise up a testimony across the globe today?

Thank you for those who are flooding into the kingdom today.

Thank you for the ways that in the midst of the devastation and gloom,

the anguish and suffering, the economic collapse, the political uprisings,

the violence, all of what is covering the earth today, Father, thank you that you promise

there will one day be no more gloom. Thank you that Jesus is the king, the risen Messiah,

who has come, that those who live in darkness would see a great light, that they would come to you,
