Prayer based on Hosea 9

Lord God, we rejoice in You, and we hate our sin. Why should we return to the way of evil? There was nothing good there for us. That way is a place for those who seek to be defiled. That way is the way of slavery. There is only one road for us. We have one great Prophet, and He leads us in the path of righteousness. We were found by You when we were dead in our trespasses and sins. We do not want to return to our days of sin and disaster again. Please protect us from dangerous choices and unhealthy inclinations. Our wickedness would only lead us into fruitless patterns of death. Please do not reject us. Bring us near to You day by day, and never let us go.
