What does the Bible mean by 'turn us unto Thee'?

Answered in 1 source

'Turn us unto Thee' is a plea for God to restore and redirect our hearts toward Him in repentance and faith.

'Turn us unto Thee' reflects the cry of the heart for divine intervention and transformation. This phrase is manifest in Jeremiah 3:22, where the call for turning signifies a reliance on God's grace to lead us away from self-righteousness and toward Christ. The acknowledgment of our need for God’s help to overcome sin and despair illustrates the Reformed understanding of human incapacity to turn to God without His enabling grace. Therefore, this plea is rooted in the recognition that only God can draw our hearts to Himself, allowing us to experience the fullness of life and salvation in Christ.
