Turn From Wicked Ways
by Kristine Stanton © 2024"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land," (2 Chronicles 7:14, NIV).
The LORD, our God, is quite aware
that we have lost control.
He sees that wickedness has won
so many hearts and souls.
He's witness to our darkened world
that's spinning 'round and 'round—
a troubled land that's out-of-sorts,
in pain, confused, and bound.
And those caught up in this chaos
contain a hollowness—
a void that only God can fill
with peace—love—hopefulness.
It's when we seek the face of God
and turn from wicked ways,
that He will listen from His Throne
and hear each one who prays. . .
He'll then forgive the wickedness
of ones who've lost their way,
and heal the lands on which they live—
all humble ones who pray.
