A call to prayer

I sent the following note out to our prayer group Thursday morning. My hope is that the Lord will use it here to reach a broader audience. We need praying men and women!
-----
Brothers, I have been burdened this morning for our Friday prayer meetings. On one hand the last few weeks have been especially precious to us. The Lord has drawn near and we have all sensed it. I have found myself unwilling to leave and eager to return... but at the same time I am wondering, where are the Nehemiahs and Jeremiahs and Daniels and Elijahs to come and pray and weep with us? Where are those whom God can mark because they weep over the abominations done in Jerusalem? "And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee..."
Look at the darkness upon the land. Consider the abounding wickedness, the imminent (?) persecution and the continued complacency of the Church and ask yourself "where are the men who will stir themselves to take hold of God?" The need is greater and yet our numbers at these protracted meetings have not increased but decreased since the arrival of Covid. This morning I was moved by these words of God which I believe apply now to the condition of the Church: "is it nothing to you that pass by?" These words of Scripture keep ringing in my ears and heart: "ye have not because ye ask not." Think what God might do if we would only rouse ourselves to cry out to Him in prayer! Think of the possibilities.
I have this sense that the heavens are pent up as if about to burst. There is power there waiting to be let loose - the day of a mighty outpouring is coming - but God is waiting to hear us tell Him together we really want it.
Brothers, as I read of past awakenings I found myself saying to Him on behalf of the Church, "we miss you." But do we? Do we miss Him and long for Him?
Some of you haven't been with us in a long time. Covid has thrown a lot of us into confusion and there may be other reasons for your absence. Would you consider making this a priority even just once a month (if that is all that you can manage)? Would you consider inviting others who are similarly burdened for revival?
I want you to know that I do not write out of a fleshly desire for numbers. I am looking forward to tomorrow night with expectation because I believe our Lord Jesus will meet us. Whether our numbers are great or few it is enough that He is there. I write rather out of a burden for Him. This morning in prayer I felt such a deep aching sadness for Him, that in these times of spiritual declension, lukewarm religion and apostasy so few (here or elsewhere) are rousing themselves to take hold of Him.
Our time is running out. Let us redeem the time because the days are evil.
