Prayer based on Hosea 8

God of Glory, we have a sure hope in Christ. Though we have often spurned Your good gifts, He has not rejected us. Though we have foolishly turned our hearts to the making of idols, He has taught us the difference between a true Savior and objects that are not gods. We should live in Him always. We should listen to Him fully. The way of the world will not solve our problems. If we follow that path we will only multiply our troubles. You are the only answer for Your people. Please forgive us.
