Why is it necessary for believers to ask for God's turn and revival?
Answered in 1 source
Believers must continually seek God’s turning and revival as a recognition of their ongoing need for grace and guidance.
The need for believers to cry out for God to 'turn us' and 'revive us' stems from an understanding that human nature is prone to wander away from God. In Psalm 80:3 and Psalm 85:4, this plea emphasizes that spiritual renewal is not a one-time event but a daily necessity. Believers are reminded that they can easily fall back into sin and self-reliance, hence the need for constant revival. It is through God’s grace that they are enabled to return and find sustenance in Him, allowing them to live in harmony with His will. This understanding cultivates a reliance on God's sustaining power and the need for His presence in their lives.
