A Scripture and a Prayer: “Time to Return”

“Return to the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel; then He will return to the remnant of you … (He) will not turn His face from you if you return to Him.” (2 Chronicles 30:6-9)

Prayer:

Lord, please help me turn back to You when I don’t do what is right, taking my own way and doing my own thing. And while these may not specifically be sinful, or even consider a sin, they may have, and most often do hurt others and have hurt my relationship with them. But more importantly they hurt You and my relationship with You. Your word tells me to lay aside every weight and sin that ensnares me and prevents me from moving forward in Your will and ways. Therefore, Lord, give me a discerning spirit to understand when I have turned away from You by my actions, and give me the courage and strength to change my direction back to You. And this I ask in Jesus’s name. AMEN
