I pray for grace, patience and peace to guard my heart as I wait on You Lord to bring this prayer to fulfillment. May they return to a covenant relationship first and foremost with you, God, and secondly to the covenant relationship that You have ordained from the foundations of the earth. Cause these ungodly desires to not be fulfilled. Cause them to not find the way of unfaithfulness. That’s pretty clear showing that these hedge of thorns keeps the unfaithful from going out and they return to the one with whom they are in a covenant relationship.įather God, I present to you this day _ and ask that you put the hedge of thorns, according to Hosea 2:6, around them to keep them from falling into sin. Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, For then it was better for me than now.’
She will chase her lovers, But not overtake them Yes, she will seek them, but not find them. F or she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, Who give me my bread and my water, My wool and my linen, My oil and my drink.’ “Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, And wall her in, So that she cannot find her paths. Hosea 2:5-7 (NKJV) “ For their mother has played the harlot She who conceived them has behaved shamefully. Therefore if you see your child going after things that are not of God (prodigals, drug and alcohol addicted, bad company) you can use these scriptures to pray for them as well. This book,while it can be taken literally, can also be looked at figuratively as the Church of Jesus Christ being unfaithful to God and chasing after things (idolatry) and not God.
The book of Hosea is about the prophet Hosea and his unfaithful spouse. There are actually 2 scriptures in the King James Version- one refers to laziness Proverbs 15:19 (we’ll cover that in a different post) and the other is Hosea 2:6. Let’s look at the scriptures that talk about the Hedge of Thorns. Likewise if you feel that someone who is not in a covenant relationship with you may be praying this over you, then you want to cut soul ties with them and pray this off of you. You also don’t really know God’s will for that person so try not to let your emotions and feelings get control of you. That would be considered witchcraft because you are not in a covenant relationship with that person. This prayer should not be prayed for your boyfriend, or girlfriend or someone whom you have feelings for that is not your spouse.
