1. Return to your former lifestyle of righteousness, to a time when you were close to God and obeyed His Word.
  2. Accept God's mercy and forgive those who have wronged you.
  3. Allow God to "plow up" the hardened ground of your hearts, especially in those areas where you have long neglected His will.

  5. Ponder the consequences of sin that you are experiencing.
  6. Accept responsibility by admitting you have brought these consequences upon yourself.
  7. Make seeking God your highest pursuit.
Hosea 10:12-13
12 I said, ‘Plant the good seeds of righteousness, and you will harvest a crop of love. Plow up the hard ground of your hearts, for now is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and shower righteousness upon you.’

 13 “But you have cultivated wickedness and harvested a thriving crop of sins. You have eaten the fruit of lies—trusting in your military might, believing that great armies could make your nation safe.
