Do not be like your ancestors and relatives who abandoned the Lord, the God of their ancestors, and became an object of derision, as you yourselves can see.

Worship the Lord your God so that his fierce anger will turn away from you.

 For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful. If you return to him, he will not continue to turn his face from you.”

Lord God my Father,

Direct me in turning away from my sinful way and back to serving you. Restore me to your desire and use me for your will.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
