Along your faith journey, there will ups, downs and unexpected turns. You may find yourself going backwards spiritually. The Old Testament uses the term “backsliding” to speak to those who have been near to God but have allowed sin to take them away. When a believer backslides, they are falling into a less desirable condition. We move away from Christ rather than toward Him. This lapse may be relatively minor and unintentional. You may have simply fallen off course through neglect by not praying, reading Scripture or keeping your focus on living for God. Other times, a believer may backslide by deliberately choosing to indulge in sinful behavior. This type of backsliding can cause disastrous consequences. If you have gone astray, it’s important that you find your way back to Him. Are you ready to come back to God? Here are six ways to find God again.

Meet With God First

The Bible tells us, “In everything you do, put God first, and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success” (Proverbs 3:6). If you are ready to find God again, make Him your number one priority. Meet with Him before anyone else. This is one way of prioritizing Him above anything and anyone. Living in God’s Kingdom means you make God’s agenda your agenda. You make God’s Will your will. You care about what God cares about. Whatever you want God to bless, put Him first in that area. Put God first when it comes to your finances. Put God first when it comes to your relationships. Put God first when it comes to your interests. When God is placed first, the way you look at all your circumstances will begin to change.
