50 Prayer Points to Recover Lost Virtues (With Bible Verses)
50 Powerful Prayer Points to Recover Lost Virtues (With Bible Verses)
Key Scripture
Joel 2:25 (KJV)
“And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.”
Meaning:
God is able to restore what has been lost, wasted, damaged, or taken away. As you pray, ask Him to restore the good qualities, opportunities, spiritual strength, peace, joy, wisdom, favor, and purpose that have diminished in your life.
Introduction
There are seasons when a person realizes that something valuable has been lost.
It may be spiritual hunger, courage, wisdom, peace, joy, confidence, discipline, creativity, favor, compassion, patience, purity, focus, or a sense of purpose.
These qualities can gradually weaken through disappointment, prolonged difficulties, unhealthy relationships, wrong decisions, discouragement, temptation, exhaustion, or seasons of spiritual dryness.
The good news is that restoration is a biblical theme.
David prayed for restoration after his failure. Samson experienced a restoration of strength at the end of his life. Job experienced restoration after a devastating season. Peter was restored after denying Christ.
God can restore what has been weakened and help you rebuild what has been lost.
These prayer points are therefore not prayers of fear, but prayers of repentance, renewal, restoration, wisdom, and renewed purpose.
As you pray, ask God not only to restore what you have lost but also to teach you how to protect and steward those virtues going forward.
