What does it mean to come to God with words?

Answered in 1 source

Coming to God with words means presenting our hearts honestly in prayer, asking for mercy and acknowledging our need for His grace.

When the sermon discusses coming to God with words, it emphasizes the importance of genuine communication with God, seeking His mercy and grace in light of our sinfulness. Hosea 14:2 encourages believers to take words with them when approaching the Lord. This signifies the act of confession – acknowledging our iniquities and expressing our need for God's gracious reception. It is a recognition that we have nothing to offer apart from Christ and that our prayers, inspired by the Spirit, become a means through which we can seek relationship and communion with Him. This concept is fundamental in Reformed thought, as it highlights that prayer is not a mere ritual but a relational expression of dependence on God’s sufficiency.
