Forty Days of Seeking God
Gregory Reed Frizzell
2 Chronicles 7:14; Psalms 11:3, 1 Timothy 2:1-3
Because America’s greatest need is unquestionably spiritual, I am
providing biblical prayers that combine praying for revival and major elections.
Above all, this book is mostly about returning to God in genuine revival. It is not about promoting particular candidates or parties. As always, believers’ first and foremost concern must be the spiritual condition of our land, not politics! One thing is certain — if sweeping moral and spiritual transformation takes place, politics will largely take care of itself. The unique prayers are biblically based and spiritually strategic for revival and national decisions. They are especially
designed for personal, corporate or 24/7 emphases.
For seeking God’s face, the prayers in this section are equally
powerful for personal, small group or corporate prayer.
By using the accompanying Scriptures, many churches will
teach through the prayers. Many pastors will incorporate some
of the prayers into their prayer meetings and worship services
in the forty days prior to major elections or events. Concerning
elections, it is vital to pray for God’s guidance in campaigns and
major debates leading up to elections. They are especially
powerful for use both on and before election days. Many churches will have their people pray through all the prayers on major election days and the day or two prior.
May we always remember that our faith is in God, not in particular political parties or human leaders. Nationwide transformation depends far more on conditions in the Church-house than who is in the White House! If any doubt this, all they need do is remember that America’s forty year moral collapse has accelerated steadily regardless of whether conservatives or liberals were in
the White House. While elections certainly matter for many important reasons, a pure and revived Church is the only real hope for this nation! Even if an election goes the way some Christians might hope, it would be utterly foolish to think the root problem is solved. Political elections are not the same as revival in the Church. Regardless of the results of any election, believers must not become complacent! Today’s critical need is a true revival and return to God far beyond than anything we have seen in over 150 years.
The prayers in this tool reflect a preeminent focus on returning to God. And while there is some specific focus on elections and leaders, the prayers promote no particular individuals or political parties. The focus is only on God’s sovereign direction and blessing. Beyond question, any sincere Christian could pray such prayers with his or her whole heart. Obviously, each person will decide privately which candidates or issues most represent God’s heart. That decision is between each person and God alone.
Seeking God to Rain Down His Righteousness
Isaiah 62:7, Hosea 10:12
Because times are so desperately urgent, it is time to seek God 24/7 for revival and direction in our land. In our prayers and repentance, we must “give God no rest until He comes and rains righteousness upon us!” Isaiah 62:7; Hosea 10:12.) The sixteen prayers (and accompanying covenant) are powerful for uniting believers’ prayers on specific points of focus. In a real sense, they represent the intensive spiritual warfare that is our only hope. May God grant us the will and power to truly return to Himself (Philippians 2:13). Concerning prayer and repentance, the days for “business as usual” are long past!
Forty Days of Seeking God is unique in that believers daily pray through at least two biblical prayers for revival and for God’s guidance in our nation. Over the forty days, participants pray through all of the various prayers several times. There is also a built-in flexibility to pray as the Spirit guides, not by some rigid formula. For those who use only the prayers (and not the main book), they will follow a similar pattern minus the deep daily cleansing. By using these strategic biblical prayers, believers learn to intercede with far greater specificity and thoroughness. Above all, they are co-laboring with God by genuinely praying His heart. Such prayer is the very essence of spiritual warfare and sweeping revival.
Rather than simply reciting the prayers in this tool, I strongly urge readers to prayerfully meditate on their unique spiritual focus and the meaning behind them. Do not rotely recite or casually scan these prayers. Ask God to help you pray these points from your heart in the power of God’s Spirit. The prayers are designed for personal, small groups or corporate prayer meetings. They are especially powerful for united 24/7 emphases that are local or nation-wide. Prayerfully consider their strategic meaning.
The prayers are presented in two formats; the first is 16 prayers and the second is 40 days of prayer using the 16 prayers. Make the prayers personal and meditate on the scripture references.
16 Biblical Prayers that Co-labor with God
1. Pray for God’s mercy and grace on the Church, nation and world. Pray that He
would stay His righteous judgment and turn millions to Himself in fervent love
and deep repentance. Yet, if His will is increasingly trials, we will exalt His
purposes and trust His grace. (2 Chronicles 7:14; Jeremiah 7:16-20, 15:1-4, 45:5;

America. Pray that voters will hear and follow God’s guidance, not political
parties or human reasoning. (Proverbs 20:27; Acts 5:29; Romans 13:11;
