Abundant mercy and Forgiveness

Bow down Your ear, O LORD, hear me;

For I am poor and needy.

Preserve my life, for I am holy;

You are my God;

Save Your servant who trusts in You!

Be merciful to me, O LORD,

For I cry to You all day long.

Rejoice the soul of Your servant,

For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,

And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.

But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious,

Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.

Psalm 86:1-5, 15

 

Father in heaven, we lift our eyes, hands, voices and hearts to You today and praise Your holy name which is Your character.  You are the God of abundant… plenty… more than enough….compassion, mercy, grace, patience, goodness, truth and forgiveness.

We especially praise and worship You for Your Son Jesus who is the provision of all these attributes for and to us. Thank You that through Him we can escape the generational sins and vices and be  healed and restored. We do not hoard these treasures of mercy, grace and forgiveness to ourselves but bring before You our family, friends, neighbours and every other person You have brought into our lives and ask that You would pour out your compassion and goodness on them also. Full us with Yourself today and make us Your channels to minister to these people.

We ask please in Jesus’ name. Amen

Now the LORD descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. And the LORD passed before him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and fourth generation.” Exodus 34:5-7

 

Let the wicked forsake his way,

And the unrighteous man his thoughts;

Let him return to the LORD,

And He will have mercy on him;

And to our God,

For He will abundantly pardon.

Isaiah 55:7

 

The LORD is merciful and gracious,

Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
