Hello Friend, Bob Perry here. It has been interesting to watch how Jelly Roll and Brandon Lake's new song, "Hard Fought Hallelujah," is catching the attention of millions of people across the globe.

The song captures the gritty reality of faith while delivering a powerful message of hope and strength. Its emotional depth resonates with millions of listeners, drawing in testimonies from various platforms, including live performances at the Grand Ole Opry, American Idol, and Jimmy Kimmel.

One listener expressed, "I don't consider myself religious, but I connect with the emotions they convey. My heart is more open to God than ever before."

Another wrote, "I am a grumpy, cynical, old man who has witnessed much of the world's wrongs. I just watched a Jimmy Kimmel interview with Jelly Roll. I haven’t heard much about him except that he was a convict who became a singer that found God. I found his honesty refreshing and his personality wholesome and real. I heard them discussing this song and figured, why not give it a try? I had my headphones on because my wife was watching Netflix! By the end of the song, I was crying, shouting, and cheering. My wife thought I had lost it! I got her to pause her TV show and played it back for her; she understands now, and we were both in tears. Something new is happening in us—a fresh hunger to know the God they sang about."

This is just two of many examples of how the song transcends religious boundaries and touches the hearts of listeners everywhere. Come on God! We love this good news!

Let’s pray.

Heavenly Father, we stand before you, aware of your deep care for people and your desire for all of humanity to experience life in abundance. We commit ourselves to pursuing revival, this move of God, that breathes life, nourishes the soul, preserves our hearts, and restores our spirits.

We seek your grace for repentance, revival, and awakening. You long for every individual to truly know you and to experience the life that comes through Christ. Ignite within us an awakening that brings renewal, restoration, rest, identity, and purpose.

Lord, we ask that you pour out your Spirit upon the young, especially those in Generation Z, born between 1996 and 2012. They find themselves at the crossroads, encountering both revival and retreat. May you illuminate their path, revealing to them the way, the truth, and the life.

We fervently pray for young men to be drawn back to you O God, that they may rise up as modern-day Davids, bold and fearless.

We declare with hope, "Prodigals of all ages, return home to the Father, his arms are wide open, waiting for you!"

Jesus, we yearn for a mighty awakening, where hundreds of thousands in our community come to know you through the overwhelming outpouring of your Spirit.

With eager anticipation, we wait upon you, trusting that you will perform signs, wonders, and miracles to showcase your goodness for this generation.

Lord, draw near to us, as we draw near to you.

We desire an abundance of your presence,

an outpouring of your power,

the wealth of your provision,

and the fullness of your providence.

O God, rend the heavens and come down to us. Save us once more, for we remain hopeful and expectant of your divine intervention.

Thank you, Lord Jesus. Amen.
