Prayer based on Hosea 14

Father God, we return to You with sincere sadness for our sin, but abundant joy because of Your greatness. We think of Your mercy to the orphan, and we love You. You will make Your children beautiful. We will flourish under Your protective love. Your love and greatness are eternal. Your ways are right, and we will walk in them forever. Please pick us up when we stumble, and rescue us when the battle of this age is more than we can bear.
