Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?psalms 85:6

 

*It was only a study trip.

A group of young theology students traveled from America to England to study the history of revival. They wanted to learn how God had moved powerfully in earlier generations.

One stop brought them to a quiet English town and an old rectory—the home of John Wesley, the man God used to ignite the Methodist revival and awaken a nation.

Inside a small bedroom, the guide paused.

He pointed to the floor beside the bed.

“These marks,” he said softly, “were made by John Wesley’s knees.

Here he prayed day after day—crying out to God for holiness, for souls, and for revival in England.”

Soon it was time to leave.

The students walked out.They boarded the bus.The engine started.But one seat was empty.Someone had stayed behind.

The guide went back inside, climbed the stairs, and entered the bedroom again. There he found a young man—not studying history, but kneeling exactly where John Wesley once knelt.

From his heart came a simple prayer:

“Lord, do it again.

Do it again.

And do it again with me.”

That quiet prayer would one day echo across nations and touch millions.

The young man was Billy Graham.
