The Lord Will

Psalm 85:4

β€œTurn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 85

Meaning

Past restoration has not removed present need. The prayer openly asks for another turning, showing that remembered grace and current struggle can coexist.

Restore us and show steadfast love

The people ask God to turn them again, revive them, show covenant love, and grant salvation.

Read carefully

The verse is petition, not a timetable for controlling God's action.

Reflection

Ask directly for restoration rather than pretending past spiritual experiences are sufficient for every present need.
