In distress we have
knelt to ask your help,
and you have rescued
us, dear God.
You have answered us,
tested us, and have
admonished us--not to
shame us,
but to make us
realize we are your beloved.
Without our knowing,
you taught us,
healed us, and led us
with cords of kindness
and bands of love. We
thank you, God.

Hosea 11:3-4a
Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk, I took them up in
my arms; but they did not know that I healed them. I led them with cords
of human kindness, with bands of love. I was to them like those who lift
infants to their cheeks. I bent down to them and fed them.

I am not writing this to make you ashamed, but to admonish
you as my beloved children.
Matt. 15:24-25

the house of Israel." But [the Canaanite woman] came and
knelt before him, saying, "Lord, help me."
