We must likewise pray that God will be reconciled to us, that we may obtain his favour and blessing, and gracious acceptance.

1. That we may be at peace with God, and his anger may be turned away from us.

Being justified by faith, let us have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through him let us have access into that grace wherein believers stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Rom 5:1, 2.

Be not thou a terror to us, for thou art our hope in the day of evil. Jer 17:17.

In Christ Jesus, let us, who sometimes were afar off, be made nigh by the blood of Christ ; for he is our peace, who hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; and that he might reconcile us to God by his cross, hath slain the enmity thereby, so making peace. Through him, therefore, let us, who have made ourselves strangers and foreigners, become fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God. Eph 2:13–16, 19.

Fury is not in thee; who would set the briers and thorns against thee in battle ? Thou wouldest burn them together; but thou hast encouraged us to take hold on thy strength, that we may make peace, and hast promised that we shall make peace. O let us therefore acquaint ourselves with thee, and be at peace, that thereby good may come unto us. Isa 27:4, 5. Job 22:21.

Heal us, and we shall be healed; save us, and we shall be saved; for thou art our praise. Be not angry with us for ever, but revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee. Show us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation. Jer 17:14. Ps 85:5–7.
