Returning to the Light

Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Won’t she light a lamp and sweep the entire house and search carefully until she finds it?

Where will the woman look first.  She will go back to the places where she thinks that she lost the coin.

So it is with us when we have lost our zeal for Christ.  We should go back to the place where we lost it.  Did we lose it because we cut back on our prayer time?  We need to return to our most robust prayer habits.  Did we lose it because we stopped studying the Word of God?  We should return to our diligent studies.  Did we lose it because of our habitual sin?  We need to repent and surrender to Christ.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, I have drifted away from my zeal for Your Son.  Help me return to the place where I lost Him.  Show me how to invigorate the good discipline in my life and give me the strength to walk away from the torments of my flesh. Bring me back to the Light of the World, Jesus Christ.
