Return to the Lord Tonight

Tonight’s Scripture: Hosea 6:1-2 (NIV)

“Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.”

🌾 Evening Meditation

Amanda Idleman gently yet boldly invites us into a sacred evening reflection: What does it mean to return to the Lord?

Quoting from the book of Hosea, Amanda reminds us that while God allows our brokenness to expose our need for Him, He also heals, binds, revives, and restores. There is no wound too deep, no sin too entangling, no distance too far that His grace cannot cover.

When our faith grows lukewarm—when we find ourselves spiritually stagnant or caught in cycles of sin—the call is not condemnation, but return. Return to the God who sees you, heals you, and restores you to His presence.

Tonight is not too late. It is exactly the right time to come back.

🙏 Your Nightly Prayer

God,
Draw me close to you again. Please give me the strength to return to you. Turn my heart of stone into a soft, alive heart seeking after you! Heal my brokenness. Bind up my wounds. Restore me to your presence.
Amen.

🌙 Three Things to Meditate Upon

1. Lukewarm or Lit with Love?
   Are you living a lukewarm Christian life? Ask the Holy Spirit to stir up a fresh passion in your faith.

2. Sin's Toll, Grace’s Cure
   Has sin brought destruction into your life? Be honest with God—and pray for His cleansing and transformation.

3. Remember Grace
   God's grace is always available. You don’t have to earn your way back. Simply return.
