3. Turn us again, O God, and caused thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.4. O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? 5. Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.6. Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.7. Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. Psalm 80:3-7 ?? Repentance is a turning towards God, going in His direction, we cannot restore our own soul, it only happens by the grace of God, through Christ. We must turn to Christ, for the manifestation of God's presence, for His grace, and favor, for the comfort of the Spirit, and the joy, of His salvation. Then shall our prayers rise up before God as incense, because we are covered in the Righteousness of Christ. Those who refuse Christ, head on a path which leads to constant grief. Open to contention, with those around them, the enemy laughs, because they turned not to God, for their help, and salvation. So turn us, Lord, unto your ways, give us wisdom, to follow, and delight ourselves, in You. Amen.
