Restore

Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity (idols and idolatry); and restore me to vigorous life and health in Your ways.

If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.

God appeared to Solomon that very night and said, "I accept your prayer; yes, I have chosen this place as a temple for sacrifice, a house of worship. If I ever shut off the supply of rain from the skies or order the locusts to eat the crops or send a plague on my people, and my people, my God-defined people, respond by humbling themselves, praying, seeking my presence, and turning their backs on their wicked lives, I'll be there ready for you: I'll listen from heaven, forgive their sins, and restore their land to health. From now on I'm alert day and night to the prayers offered at this place.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and grant me a willing spirit to obey you.

Then he will pray to God, and He will accept him, that he may see His face with joy, and He may restore His righteousness to man.

You, O God, did send a plentiful rain; You did restore and confirm Your heritage when it languished and was weary.

Psalm 119:37 2 Chronicles 7:14 2 Chronicles 7:12 Psalm 51:12 Job 33:26 Psalm 68:9

For a new start, ask God for a new heart.
