a prayer for divine intervention

Restore us, God! That is the prayer of a man who prays, yet feels that his and all his nation’s prayers are being met by anger from their God. It is a prayer for God to change that. He depends on his God to restore his people so that their neighbors and enemies would not keep controlling and persecuting them.

LORD, restore us. We need your divine intervention.
