Prayer based on Hosea 13

Great God, we have a new hope in Your Son Jesus Christ. Idols cannot help us, and we will not trust in them. You are the Savior who brought us through the wilderness. Your Son is Lion of the tribe of Judah. He will save us. He will not devour Your elect. We confess that we have been unwise sons and daughters. Yet through the resurrection of our great Atoning Sacrifice, the sting of death has been removed far from us. We have a Redeemer in Jesus Christ, and He will never forsake us.
