During the day, if I consider pursuing something that runs counter to His plan, the Holy Spirit reminds me that I am not my own. If you’re wondering exactly how to do that, here’s my practice: Every morning, I surrender my life to the Lord. Whatever your drifting story, make this the day that you return to God.Īs with any sin, the first move toward getting back on course is to confess your sin, acknowledging that you have slipped away from the Lord. That’s the lesson from Jesus’ parable about the prodigal son-the foolish boy who followed a pleasure-filled path to ruin before returning to his father and finding redemption (Luke 15:11-32). No matter how far away from God you have drifted, you’re always welcome back.
