One of the things you could do, is turn around, and retrace your footsteps. You might see things that remind you of the journey, and eventually, you find the point where you last knew you were on the right path.
“Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.” - Acts 3:19
That’s a little bit like repentance. It’s one thing to say you’re sorry for being on a path that wasn’t right for you; it’s quite another to turn around and find the right one.
In Acts 3, Peter is sharing the good news of Jesus. While speaking, he urges them to ‘repent’ so that ‘times of refreshing’ might come.
If today, you know you’re not on a good path, or there’s an area of your life that feels so far away from God’s best, why not take Peter’s brilliant advice? Stop - whatever it is, stop that journey. Turn around - repent, and let God guide you towards the point where you can feel refreshed again.
If you’re in a group, it might be good to talk it through with your group leader or someone who’s looking after you - just so you can walk it together. Nobody wants any of us to be lost in the woods.
