Desiring God to Show His Glory

Praying for revival expresses both love to God and man, and we have every expectation from the promises of God's word that he will be yet pleased to give great increase and purity to the church. Encouragement is further drawn from the truth of God's ways which are neither eratic nor arbitrary, but proceed from unchangeable faithfulness.
