God, Depart From Us

They said to God, 'Depart from us!' Job 22:17 This is what so many people today are saying. They want nothing to do with God. They feel that they are self-made and have no need of God. They believe that absolutes are a vestige of primitive times. Right and wrong are relative to the situation and a hindrance to their fun. As a result of these beliefs, our society is rotting. Families are falling apart. Many people don't care about each other any more. These beliefs have far reaching effects. Lord, save us from godlessness. Help us to remember how much You have done for us and how much we need You. Help us to depend on You and follow Your plan for our lives.
