Scripture: Joel 2:25 (KJV)
“And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.”
Empowering Devotion:
Restoration is the divine promise of God to redeem what was lost, stolen, or destroyed. The Lord specializes in restoring time, opportunities, relationships, health, and dreams that seemed beyond recovery. Joel 2:25 is a reminder that no season of loss is beyond the reach of God’s hand.
The enemy seeks to convince us that what was lost can never be regained. But God declares, “I will restore the years.” Only the Sovereign God can reach back into seasons of pain and disappointment and turn them into testimonies of His glory. Restoration is not merely returning things to how they were—it is God making them better than they were before.
Whatever you feel has been wasted—time, resources, or moments—God has the power to restore. He sees every tear and knows every sacrifice. He is a faithful restorer. This Lenten season, release your past seasons of loss into His hands and prepare your heart for divine restoration.
Today, declare that nothing is beyond God’s ability to restore. The years the enemy thought he stole are being returned with increase, favor, and blessing. Trust Him to restore your life in ways greater than you imagined.
Inspiring Prayer:
Father, I thank You because I know You hear me. Let Your will be done as I stand on Your promise of restoration. Thank You, Lord, that You are the Restorer of everything I thought was lost.
I release every season of loss, delay, and disappointment into Your hands. Breathe new life into every dry place, and restore what the enemy tried to destroy. I trust You to recover the years, the dreams, and the moments that seemed wasted.
Thank You for being a faithful God. I receive restoration, renewal, and divine increase. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
