Hosea 12:3-6 (NIRV)
“Even before Jacob was born, he was holding on to his brother’s heel. When he became a man, he struggled with God. At Peniel he struggled with the angel and won. Jacob wept and begged for his blessing. God also met with him at Bethel. He talked with him there. He is the Lord God who rules over all. His name is the Lord. People of Jacob, you must return to your God. You must hold on to love and do what is fair. You must trust in your God always.”
Poem by Farrah Skaggs:
Who can you trust?
Jesus! He’s our God!
You must return to him.
Let Him fill you to the brim.
Flying through the skys,
On you, He’s got his eyes.
Trust in your stupendous, loving God, ALWAYS!
Guided Prayer:
Dear Jesus Christ,
Help me to trust in you with all my heart. I trust that you will lead me. I trust that you will provide for me. I love you, Lord. I trust you, Jesus. I also ask for your lost sheep to return to you God, those who have known you or known about you but have drifted away. Bring them near by your loving kindness and cover them in the shadow of your wings.
Amen.
