All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own.

Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.

It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it. 12You will live in joy and peace.

I have seen what they do, but I will heal them anyway! I will lead them. I will comfort those who mourn, 19bringing words of praise to their lips.

“But those who still reject me are like the restless sea, which is never still but continually churns up mud and dirt. 21There is no peace for the wicked,” says my God.

Lord God my Father,

Keep me close and correct my path when I wonder off. Keep wicked from finding me and allow me to see it when it tempts me. Your way is delightful and what my heart desires. Have mercy on the lost and open their eyes to see and allow your peace to rest on their hearts. Allow your Peace to be my strength.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
