Our God is...Merciful

"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. 

Our God is...Faithful

The Lord is faithful.

Confess your unfaithfulness to the Lord, praise him for always being constant and trustworthy, thank him for his fullfilled promises, his love, and his faithfulness.

Our God is...Accessible

We are blessed that God is so easily accessible to us. He doesn't require anyone human to intercede on our behalf. Reflect on these verses and praise him for being so available to us. We can call on him anytime.

What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way our LORD our God is near us whenever we pray to him. Deuteronomy 4:7
