Psalm 85:1-7 (NKJV)
1  LORD, You have been favorable to Your land;
You have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2  You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people;
You have covered all their sin.
3  You have taken away all Your wrath;
You have turned from the fierceness of Your anger.

4  Restore us, O God of our salvation.
And cause Your anger toward us to cease.
5  Will you be angry with us forever?
Will You prolong Your anger to all generations?
6  Will you not revive us again,
That Your people may rejoice in You?
7  Show us Your mercy, O LORD,
And grant us Your salvation.

   Repent again! The nation of Israel had turned from God, experienced judgment, been forgiven, only to repeat the cycle over and over.
The first verses of this psalm describe God's forgiveness and restoration of the land.
   The next verses ask forgiveness and restoration again.
   Forgiveness and Restoration comes after repentance.
   Our nation stands at this point today. As a nation we have turned away from God.
   When a nation turns from God, there will be judgment. People don't like that idea, but if we believe the Bible, we can come to no other conclusion.
   So, our nation needs to Repent Again! God has promised to heal our land when His people turn from their sin (repent) and turn to Him. (2 Chronicles 7:14).    
  This psalm ask God to revive us and show us mercy and grant salvation. This will come only when His people repent and turn to Him!
   This is a national need, but must start with each individual.
   Now is the time! Time may be short! So, America, REPENT AGAIN!
