They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord.

“ ‘How gladly would I treat you like my children and give you a pleasant land, the most beautiful inheritance of any nation.’ I thought you would call me ‘Father’ and not turn away from following me. 20But like a woman unfaithful to her husband, so you, Israel, have been unfaithful to me,” declares the Lord.

“Return, faithless people; I will cure you of backsliding.”

Lord God my Father,

You are my strength and protector. Turn away those who wish to destroy me and show me how to overcome the attacks. Show me your way and provide for my needs and my family’s needs. You are my father and everything good in me comes from you. Cure me from my wondering.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
