Commentators unanimously highlight that even though God sovereignly promises restoration, He explicitly states He will be "inquired of" by His people to bring it about. Charles Spurgeon notes the blessing will come, but "not without prayer for it." This shows that God's promises are not meant to make prayer unnecessary, but rather to fuel our faith-filled petitions, encouraging us to ask for what He has already declared He will do.
