As I was having some devotional time this morning I came across this verse in Romans.
Rom 13:11-14
11 Another reason for right living is this: you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for the coming of the Lord is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is far gone, the day of his return will soon be here. So quit the evil deeds of darkness and put on the armor of right living, as we who live in the daylight should! Be decent and true in everything you do so that all can approve your behavior. Don't spend your time in wild parties and getting drunk or in adultery and lust or fighting or jealousy. 14 But ask the Lord Jesus Christ to help you live as you should, and don't make plans to enjoy evil.

Daily we need to make sure that our priorities, actions, attitudes and motives are right. If we find that we no longer have the desire to live right and follow His direction we can do what verse 14 tells us. We can ask Him for help to live like we should.
God is always ready to forgive us and help us get on track again. We just have to acknowledge that we need help and yield to Him.
Very good scripture for all to remember b/c we all do need help from time to time and it still amazes me how quickly God sends it when we just ask. Just call the best 911 service ever the response time and results are always amazing and you never get put on hold.
