Our God is...Merciful

I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity.  I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD" and you forgave the guilt of my sin. Psalm 32:5 

"I know the plans I have for you." declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 

[The Lord] said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 

The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast. 1 Peter 5:10  

Lord, thank you for your mercy. Thank you that when I acknowledge my sin and don't cover it up, but confess it, you forgive the guilt of my sin. Thank you for your plans for the future & your hope. Please help me to forgive others like you have forgiven me. Amen.
