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 us return to You when we fail to do what is right, take our own way, and do our own thing. While these may not be specifically sinful, they often hurt others and strain our relationships with them. More importantly, they hurt You and our relationship with You. Your word tells me to lay aside every weight and sin that ensnares us and prevents us from moving forward in Your will and ways. Therefore, Lord, give us a discerning spirit to recognize when our actions have turned us away from You, and give us the courage and strength to turn back to You. And this I ask in Jesus’s name. AMEN
