The prayer for spiritual strength is one that is said a lot but that I am not sure that people truly listen to. God can do so much more than we can imagine and we need to have the strength and courage to let go and let him do his work.
Sometimes we need to be revived in our faithfulness and strength in Christ. We tend to get complacent and just go along without really putting in much effort. We should always be active in our faithfulness.

That is so true. How many times have we said we must let go and let God work? One verse that stands out to me is, "Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace". I am not sure why this one is so prevalent to me. I think it's saying that when we learn to keep peace or remain and share peacefulness, then we stay united to the Spirit of God. I can see how this would make a difference in the world.
It seems the psalmist feels that God is angry with them at this point and he's asking God to reveal himself and show them his unfailing love. He goes on to say that he will listen to God and the promises of peace but he must not turn to folly. This is a good warning or reminder to keep an open heart to God and stay focused on his love.
