“Come back! Return to your God! You’re down but you’re not out. Prepare your confession and come back to God. Pray to Him, “Take away our sin, accept our confession. Receive as restitution our repentant prayers. We’ll never again say ‘our god’ to something we’ve made or made up. You’re our last hope. Is it not true that in You the orphan finds mercy?”
Hosea 14: 1-3 (The Message Bible)
Abba Father, we have given up our pride and turned away from our arrogance. We are not concerned with great matters or subjects too difficult for us. We acknowledge that You are in control and each moment of our life is ordained by You and we have our being because of You. Reveal to us Your will and please prepare us to live accordingly. Let the beauty of Your holiness, dear Lord, be seen in us. Let Your purity, humility and grace flow through us. Restore, renew and refine Your peace and joy and love in us. Create in us a life divine and give us a fresh start in You, the only Holy and True God. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen!
