From his bed he wrote a tender farewell letter to Luther. For this I am praying, this is my will, and may my will be done, because I seek only to glorify the name of God. Those words seem harsh and insensitive to modern ears, but God apparently honored the prayer. Although Myconius had already lost the ability to speak when Luther's reply came, he soon recovered. He lived six more years and died two months after Luther.
Revival comes from prayer and is sustained by prayer.
