We pray for God to send revival, and all we are really asking is that which Moses prayed.
Exodus 33:18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
Revival is close:
— When we want to know God's ways so that we might better serve Him.
— When we have a desire to know Him better in an ever-deepening fellowship.
— When we long for His abiding presence to guide us day by day.
— When we want to see the glory of God revealed so that He might receive the worship and praise that He is worthy of receiving.
Moses request boils down to a request for genuine revival.
“We praise Thee, O God! — For the Son of Thy love, — For Jesus Who died and is now gone above. — Hallelujah! Thine the glory. — Hallelujah! Amen. — Hallelujah! Thine the glory. — Revive us again.” William P. Mackay 1863
