Same Today

Oh God,
Over the ages, the heart's of humans haven't changed.
We are no different from the Israelites of Old.
When they prospered, they turned their back on you,
and followed after other Gods.
Yet, when they suffered, they turned back
and cried out for mercy and deliverance.
How are we any different?
When things are good, we easily turn away
only to come running back when things go wrong.
We let our passion for you dwindle so easily,
by distracting ourselves with worldly idols

Oh God,
I thank you for you never change.
Your steadfast and enduring love
is the same today as it was back then.
Even in your justice, you heard the cries of your people
and saved them from themselves.

God,
Embrace me in your unchanging Love,
so that my human heart can be changed,
to turn from the worldly things,
and seek You and You alone.
