God Is Forgiving & Merciful
In Psalm 103, the psalmist urges you to count your blessings. And psalms 98-102 provide plenty of ideas to help you do just that by focusing on the many things for which you should be thankful: your salvation (Psalm 98), answered prayer (Psalm 99), God’s mercy and truth (Ps 100), God’s justice and holiness (Ps 101), God’s care when u are down (P102).
Lord, Praise Your Forgiving Mercy:
The Lord reigns… And He is high
above all the peoples… Praise
Your great & awesome name.
He is holy… Exalt the Lord our
God, & worship at His footstool.
He is holy (Psalm 99:1-5).
Moses and Aaron were among
His priests, and Samuel was
among those who called upon
the Lord and He answered them…
You were to them God Who Forgives
(El Nose), though You punished
their misdeeds (Psalm 99:6-8).
Enter into His gates
with thanksgiving and
into His courts with praise.
Be Thankful to Him
and bless His name.
For the Lord Is Good;
His Mercies is everlasting
and His truth endures to all
generations (Psalm 100:4-5).
Lord El Nose, You are worthy of all praise because the expanse of Your love covers our sins. You love me enough to teach me through the results of my wrong choices, but You are also there when I turn to You for forgiveness. My heart is filled with gratitude for Your capacity to forgive. Amen.
El Nose, help me not take lightly the gift of Your forgiveness. Remind me of the price Jesus paid to offer me forgiveness. Create in me a heart of gratitude that will serve You with my life. There is no condemnation for me for I’m in Christ. Write this truth on my mind abd help me approach Your throne of grace boldly. Amen.
Father God, I come before You
with praise and thanksgiving;
for who You are and everything
that You have done for me.
Transform my heart Lord & grant
me an attitude of gratefulness.
And when I forget Your Goodness,
remind me of the many things
I have to be gratefully thankful for.
Thank You Lord for Your Goodness,
Mercy and faithfulness. Thank You
Jesus for You Paid It All. Amen.
