Psalm chapter 80 verse 19

restore us oh lord god of hosts let your face shine that we may be saved. This verse is repeated three different times in

Psalm chapter 80.

Verse 3, restore us, O God, let your face shine that we may be saved. Verse

restore us O God, let your face shine that we may be saved.

Vers seven, restore us, oh God of hosts, let your face shine that we may be saved.

And then,

verse 19, restore us, O Lord God of hosts,

let your face shine that we may be saved.

What a prayer that we can just pray directly in our lives, particularly when we have

sinned against God, when we have wandered from God, when we have turned from his ways, this is a prayer for

restoration to God. Whenever there is any kind of brokenness or need for repair in our relationship with God.

And aren't you glad that God always answers this prayer?

That when we sin against God, when we wander from God, we never have to worry that he will not restore us.

Jesus has sealed our covenant relationship with God, with his blood, and it is sure and steadfast.

He is an anchor for our souls, for our lives in such a way that even when we sin, even when we violate

this covenant relationship we have with God, that God is gracious and merciful and forgives us will not let us wander too far from him and when we turn to him he will restore us and not just restore us

kind of lightly listen to the language let your face shine upon us that we may be saved.

Restored to favor with God before God, all of this only possible through his grace and his love in Jesus.

So let's just pray this prayer together. God, in light of Psalm chapter 80

verses 3, 7 and 19, we pray that you would restore us to you.
