Restore Us, O Lord, and Let Your Face Shine Upon Us

Exhortation:

Psalm 80:1-4, 18-19 is a heartfelt cry for divine intervention, restoration, and revival. The psalmist pleads with God, the Shepherd of Israel, to awaken His power and shine His face upon His people to save them. In times of despair, this passage reminds us that God's presence brings restoration and His mercy renews us. It challenges us to trust in God's ability to revive our spirits and align our hearts to seek Him continually.

As you pray tonight, be encouraged that God is attentive to the cries of His people, and He is able to turn mourning into joy, darkness into light, and desolation into fruitfulness.
