Prayer of Reformation
"Lord, I ask for You to reform any crooked ways within me. I seek Heaven's blueprint and ask for Your heart and Your mind in all things. I pray, less of me, more of You! I want what You want. Show me what pleases You. Let Your will be done! If I perish, I perish, but I will make straight the way of the Lord.
Lord, You are holy, make me holy! I pray for revival and reformation in my family, city, state, America and the nations! Amen."
