Isaiah 52
7 How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him who brings good news,
who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness,
who publishes salvation,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.“
8 The voice of your watchmen—they lift up their voice;
together they sing for joy;
for eye to eye they see
the return of the LORD to Zion.
9 Break forth together into singing,
you waste places of Jerusalem,
for the LORD has comforted his people;
he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The LORD has bared his holy arm
before the eyes of all the nations,
and all the ends of the earth shall see
the salvation of our God.
LORD,
We are watchmen.
We have seen Your return.
We have seen Your Spirit’s moving.
We have felt Your holy fire burning.
We have been blessed.
But now our vision has been clouded.
We have become distracted.
We have become stagnant.
We have become lukewarm.
We have not been good stewards of Your blessings.
Forgive us, Lord, for not being zealous for You as we ought.
Forgive us, Lord, for not persevering in prayer to You as we ought.
Forgive us, Lord, for not watching for You as we ought.
Forgive us, Lord, for not speaking for You as we ought.
Open our eyes once again to see Your return,
so our feet might be beautiful and bring good news.
Open our eyes once again to see Your return,
so we might publish peace, good news of happiness and salvation.
Open our eyes once again to see Your return,
so we might say to Your people: “Your God reigns.”
Open our eyes once again to see Your return,
so we might lift up our voice together and sing for joy.
Open our eyes once again to see Your return,
so we might break forth into singing.
Open our eyes once again to see Your return,
so we might make known Your holy arm before all the nations.
Open our eyes once again to see Your return,
so we might make visible to all the ends of the earth Your salvation.
* Please add your PRAYERS as His Spirit leads you. *
Zechariah 8:21 
The whole idea of Jesus coming again just makes me feel warm all over. The sooner the better!!
Lord Jesus, We do want to see Your return and soon! The joy of anticipation should break forth from our lips in glad song! We haven’t forgotten the words. Restore us, O Lord, to our first love. “Lord, please light the fire,That once burned bright and clear.”Replace the lamp of my first love,That burns with holy fear”This is my prayer, Lord, that I may be used in your great revival! Amen.
I cry out to the Lord, ” how long?” praying I will be patient and still and wait on Him even though I am so weary. Lord let my trust in you not be in vain. It is hard to tell ppl of your goodness right now when I’ve endured so long and been put to shame so long- mocked for trusting too. Lord, I repent of lack of faith and doubt of your goodness. I praise your holy name. But answer this persistent widow’s cry. Thanks be to God alone through Christ Jesus. Amen.
