Jeremiah's prayer for restoration

In Lamentations 5 we read Jeremiah's prayer for mercy for his people. At a time of grief, the true believer should turn to God in prayer. Go and read the whole chapter, I insert Lam 5:22 (NKJV) as the key text in this chapter: "Turn us back to You, O Lord, and we will be restored; Renew our days as of old" The NLT reads: "
Restore us, O LORD, and bring us back to you again! Give us back the joys we once had!"
