That is why the Lord says, “Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me your hearts. Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning. 13Don’t tear your clothing in your grief, but tear your hearts instead.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is merciful and compassionate,

The Lord says, “I will give you back what you lost to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts, the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts.2:25 The precise identification of the four kinds of locusts mentioned here is uncertain. It was I who sent this great destroying army against you.

I will pardon my people’s crimes, which I have not yet pardoned; and I, the Lord, will make my home in Jerusalem3:21 Hebrew Zion. with my people.”

Lord God my Father,

Create in me a desperate desire to deepen my relationship with you. Bring a single focus to my mind to gaze upon you. Restore me to your design and remove my selfish desires. Forgive me for my arrogance.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
