Topic: Turning Fully Back to God
Scripture (KJV)
Isaiah 55:7
“Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.”
Devotional
Returning to God requires more than regret; it requires redirection.
Isaiah’s call to forsake wicked ways and unrighteous thoughts reveals that repentance is both external and internal. True return involves abandoning behaviors and surrendering thought patterns that separate the heart from God.
Many believers regret actions yet cling to the thinking patterns that produced them. Transformation occurs when both behavior and mindset are surrendered.
God invites return, not rejection.
He promises mercy, not punishment.
He offers abundant pardon, not reluctant forgiveness.
The word return suggests movement toward relationship restoration. It is the journey from distance to intimacy.
Sin creates distance.
Grace restores nearness.
To forsake means to release deliberately. It is an intentional choice to let go of attitudes, habits, and thought patterns that hinder spiritual growth.
– What patterns must be surrendered?
– What thoughts must be renewed?
– What direction must be corrected?
God’s mercy meets every sincere return.
Returning to God is not about earning acceptance; it is about receiving mercy.
Prayer
Father, I thank You because I know You hear me. Let Your will be done.
Lord, I return to You with my whole heart. I release every habit, mindset, and attitude that has drawn me away from Your presence. Help me to forsake what is harmful and embrace what is holy.
Renew my thoughts and align my mind with truth. Strengthen me to choose righteousness over convenience and obedience over comfort.
Thank You for Your abundant mercy. Thank You for receiving me with compassion. Restore my spiritual direction and guide my steps in Your will.
I return fully to You.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Declaration
I return fully to the Lord. I release harmful patterns and embrace divine truth. God’s mercy restores me and His grace directs my steps. My mind is renewed, my path is corrected, and my life is aligned with God.
