Turning

The Lord your God is merciful and compassionate. He won’t withdraw his presence from you if you return to him. ~ 2 Chronicles 30:9b (CEB)

So turn to God! Give up your sins, and you will be forgiven. Then that time will come when the Lord will give you fresh strength. He will send you Jesus, his chosen Messiah. ~ Acts 3:19-20 (CEB)
Lord, thank you for your mercy and compassion. I want to take full advantage of those gifts. So, please show me today if there is anything in my life that I need to turn away from -- even if it is not really a big sin. I want to turn and face you with confidence -- fully aware that I am living in your presence as your fully forgiven child. Amen.
