David Wilkerson emphasizes the urgent need for believers to become people of prayer, drawing from Jeremiah 5 where God seeks just one person who will seek Him. He highlights the example of Daniel during Babylonian captivity, who, upon reading God's Word, was moved to pray fervently for his people, acknowledging their sins and seeking restoration. Wilkerson calls for self-examination among Christians, urging them to identify and repent of the worldly influences in their lives. He stresses that true prayer involves not just intercession for others but also a deep personal commitment to holiness and seeking God's face. Ultimately, he encourages believers to cry out for personal and national deliverance through earnest prayer.

C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes the gravity of sin, particularly for those who have experienced God's grace and forgiveness. He reflects on the shame that accompanies our ungratefulness and lack of fruitfulness despite being favored by God. Spurgeon highlights the atrocity of sin committed by those who have been pardoned, noting that such sins are more heinous than those of the unrepentant. He calls believers to bow before God, recognizing their natural sinfulness and to worship Him for His grace, mercy, and love that saves and spares us from judgment.
