A Prayer for Restoration and God's Forgiving Mercy
Micah 7:14-20
14Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your inheritance, dwelling alone in a forest in the midst of Carmel; let them pasture in Bashan and Gilead as in the days of old.15As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt, I will show him wonders.16The nations will see and be ashamed because of all their might; they will put a hand upon the mouth; their ears will be deaf.17They will lick dust like the serpent, like creatures that crawl upon the earth; they will tremble from their strongholds before the LORD our God; they will dread and fear because of you.18Who is a God like you, lifting iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, for he delights in kindness.19He will return; he will have compassion on us; he will subdue our iniquities; and you will throw into the depths of the sea all their sins.20You will give truth to Jacob, kindness to Abraham, which you swore to our fathers from days of old.
