Solemn Assemblies (Day 2/40) - Prayer of repentance

Day 2/40, Cornerstone: Today we heard the report about FOPx that took place on the grounds of St Andrew's Cathedral yesterday. Despite the rain, some 2,000 young people came to pray and worship the Lord. In 1978, Billy Graham had apparently preached on those grounds too, and many of those who came to faith grew up to become pastors, preachers and missionaries. Awaken this generation again, Lord!

This evening's prayer focus was on repentance -- personal, corporate (church) and national.  We repented for walking away from our first love, and for our pride and unbelief. We prayed "God, change us!" Oh Lord, that after these 40 days, we would be a people that are changed, a people who love! That we would be like the Acts church! 

We prayed, "Don't leave us to ourselves, Lord".  Hem us in (Psalm 139) if necessary. Hem us in for our own sakes, that Singapore will enter into her destiny. 

"Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin, and desire nothing but God, and I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or laymen; such alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the kingdom of heaven on Earth. " (John Wesley)
