We understand your prayer request is based on Lamentations 5:21, "Return us to you, O Lord, so that we may be restored; renew our days of old!" This is a heartfelt cry to God for restoration and renewal. Let us come to the Lord and pray what He puts on our hearts.
Firstly, it is crucial to remember that our access to God is only through His Son, Jesus Christ, as it is God's will and commandment that all honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The only name by which we can be saved is the name of Jesus. This is a fundamental aspect of our faith as it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB, Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, and we read in Acts 4:12 WEB, There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved.
Let us pray together and as we do let us examine ourselves and repent for where we may have fallen short in our dedication to Jesus Christ as our Saviour. We have gained our salvation through Jesus Christ, and through our repentance and dedication to Him and our Heavenly Father.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that You alone can restore and renew us. We repent for the times we have strayed from Your path and sought fulfillment outside Your will. Father, renew our hearts and minds, and help us to dedicate ourselves to You and Your Son. Guide us to make decisions that align with Your word as we continue to pursue a deeper relationship with You.
Father, we ask that You restore and renew our lives, just as You did for Job. The last chapter of Job, the last book of the Old Testament ends with these words. Job 42:10 WEB, Yahweh reversed the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends. Yahweh gave Job twice as much as he had before. You are a loving and merciful God, and You desire to bless us abundantly. Help us to be obedient to Your word and to seek Your face continually.
We pray that our remaining days and our future will continue to be filled by You. Help us to live lives that honor and glorify You and we ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
Be encouraged, knowing that God hears your prayers and desires to restore and renew your life. Trust in Him and His promises, and continue to seek His face. God is faithful, and He will do what He has promised as we turn to Him and approach Him through the name of Jesus. The scriptures remind us in Hebrews 13:5 WEB, Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.
