I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely, For My anger has turned away from him.

The LORD GOD says ” I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely, For My anger has turned away from him.He shall grow like the lily, And lengthen his roots like Lebanon.His branches shall spread; His beauty shall be like an olive tree, And his fragrance like Lebanon.Those who dwell under his shadow shall return; They shall be revived like grain, And grow like a vine.

—–Hosea 14:4-7 (New King James Version)

Dearest Abba Father, Maker of heaven and earth and seas, I bow before you seeking your mercy.O Lord, You are a compassionate God who doesn’t turn away anyone who comes to You. Have compassion on me a miserable sinner. Please be merciful to me and deliver me from the troubles that compass me about. There is no peace in me, Yahweh. Please don’t deal with me according to my sins, but according to Your compassion and mercy, for I am the work of Your hands and You know my weaknesses. Father, grant me Your helping grace to overcome the troubles that confound me. Without Your helping hand I will be smitten to dust. Restore the peace in me which is my inheritance through Jesus Christ. You know my misery and suffering and to You, Elohim, I run for relief and comfort. I trust in Your unfailing love. I know that in Your perfect time You will deliver me from this trouble which came upon me because I didn’t seek your counsel and followed my feelings. I trust that You will deliver me and turn my distress into comfort. All power, praises and glory belong to You, my Deliverer and my Strong Tower. I thank You that Your anger is turned away from me. You will revive me and prosper me and restore to me all that the enemy has stolen from me in the days of my disobedience to You. Through the grace of Jesus Christ, amen.
