PJP2 SIP 151204 SIP Focus Hosea 2:19-23 (ESV).....Precious Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Gracious Heavenly Father, we Come to You in Worship and Praise. Lord Jesus, Be with me this morning as I craft a Paraphrase of Prayer and Praise from Your Inspired Word to Your prophet Hosea as he writes in Hosea 2:19-23 (ESV)....Father God we Thank You for Your using the Imagery of a Husband and Wife's Holy Union as a Reflection of Your Love for us. Lord Jesus, Thank You for Your Act of Redemption and Salvation Providing for us a Path and Bridge to Be Able to Repent and Return to a Right Relationship with God The Father. Holy Spirit Guide us and Help us to Hear and Understand when God The Father Says to us, 'And I Will Betroth you to Me Forever. I Will Betroth you to Me In Righteousness And In Justice.' Father God we Thank You now and forever for Your Consistent and Constant Steadfast Love for us. Lord Jesus, Thank You for Your Reflection and Application of Mercy upon us. Holy Spirit do Betroth us to You in Faithfulness. Father God, Open our Hearts, Souls and Minds that we May Know You, our Lord and our God. Lord Jesus, we Know that In That Day You Will Answer All our Prayers and Your Promises. Holy Spirit, we Know, at our Lord's Second Advent, the heavens and earth will Hear His Holy Answer. Father God, Shower upon us Again the earth's bounty and Blessing by Your Hand. Holy Spirit May the earth's new Grain, and the Wine, and the Oil ever Remind us of Your Mercy, Love, Light and Grace towards us. Lord Jesus use us as Your Righteous Seed of Light and New Life in our land. Father God we Thank You and Ask You to Reveal Yourself to those who do not yet Know You as Lord and Savior. We would pray for our world Lord Jesus that You would Continue to Have Mercy on us. Holy Spirit Continue to say to those who are Not Your people, that If they will Repent and Return to You, You Too will say to them, ‘You Are My people’. Lord Jesus, Empower us and Embolden us to Share Your Story that You May draw the Lost to You that they May say, ‘O Lord, we Praise You. You are our God.’ Lord, we Ask all these Prayers in Your Holy Name....Amen/Amen/jaj
