Never in living memory has our nation needed God more—needed our prayers more!  God’s promise to Solomon is still true today:
If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14).

The purpose is to pray for renewed spiritual passion, purpose, and purity in our own lives, then extend our prayers for awakening to our families, workplaces, churches, communities, and the nation.

Prayer for Your Personal Life

To Increase in Spiritual Hunger and Holiness
January 11:  As the New Year begins, ask the Lord to awaken your heart to His love. Pray for increased hunger to spend more time in prayer, worship, and God’s Word. Receive communion. Pray for a greater awareness of God’s holiness and ask
Him to give you a tender conscience and a heart to please Him in your every thought, word, and deed.

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of my salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me (Psalm 51: 10-12, NIV).

To Walk in Wisdom and Revelation
January 12: Ask the Lord to open your eyes to see Him more clearly and your ears to hear anything He desires to speak.  Pray for a Spirit of wisdom and revelation that you might know Jesus more deeply and have a profound understanding of the authority He has given you in Christ Jesus.

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.  I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and the incomparably great power for us who believe (Ephesians 1:17-18, NIV)

To be Filled with Power and Purpose
January 13: Ask to be filled with and controlled by the Holy Spirit. Pray for the supernatural works of Jesus to be manifested in your life and that those around you will be transformed as they seek to know the powerful God that you serve.  Pray that you would fulfill God’s purpose in your generation and that the very course of history would be changed because you lived.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Rom. 15:13, NIV).

For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep (Acts 13:36, NIV).
