Turn again to the Lord

With all of world's distractions, it seems so easy to drift away from prayer and spirituality. But that is not a new problem unique to our time. Indeed, the bible is full of notes of caution, and also words of advice, on this exact topic.

For example, Lamentations 3:40 (KJV) reads,
Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.
And Paul commands (1 Corinthians 11:28, KJV),
Let a man examine himself.
And Psalm 119:176 (KJV) reads,
I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.
Again, these are not new problems unique to us. These times of drift are, unfortunately, part of our spiritual journey. Our task is to self-diagnose those times of drift, search our ways, and "turn again to the Lord."
