You Can't Pray for Revival If You BLAME the Other Side!
from Clearview Today with Dr. Abidan Shah · host Dr. Abidan Shah
Most people who pray for revival never make it to the hardest part of the prayer. They get through the praise. They get through asking. But then Nehemiah does something most of us skip entirely — he confesses sin he didn't personally commit. Not "they have sinned." We have sinned. Both my father's house and I.In this episode, Dr. Abidan Shah continues through Nehemiah's prayer in chapter one and unpacks what it actually means to wrestle with God — not to overpower him, but to show him that every part of you is locked in and engaged. He also gets into why most Christians gradually lose that intensity, the difference between revival and awakening, and what Richard Baxter's transformation of an entire town tells us about what's possible when someone is truly all in.But the sharpest moment in this episode is the shift from "I" to "we." Nehemiah had never even seen Jerusalem. He didn't cause the exile. But he takes ownership anyway — and Dr. Shah makes the case that until Christians in America are willing to do the same, real revival isn't coming.Support the showDr. Shah writes a personal letter every week — reflections on Scripture, faith, and living it out with clarity and purpose.
