I am the Great Renewer. I repair. I restore.
I pull the ashes out of a dead fire pit and bring the wood to life again. I mend the broken places and restore the crushed people.
I draw a shrunken life from the pit and give it a pulse.
Your heart has been stunned into numb confusion as you mourn your loved ones. But I can repair your shattered life and give you fresh hope.
Allow me to give you new strength. A new life. A closer walk with me.
I am the Great Renewer. I repair. I restore.
Restore us, O Lord, and bring us back to you again!
Give us back the joys we once had!
Lamentations 5:21
