thank You for Your Word and for this chapter, which reminds us of Your mercy and grace. Thank You for showing us Your compassion and forgiveness, and for Your patience with us in our weaknesses.
Help us to remember that You are a God who is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. Teach us to be more like You in our relationships with others, and to show mercy and forgiveness just as You have shown to us.
Thank You for the assurance that You are a God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love You and keep Your commandments. Help us to remain faithful to You and to seek after Your will in all that we do.
May Your presence go with us as we go about our days, and may we experience Your peace and rest in Your love. Guide us and lead us, and may we always seek to honor You in all that we do.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
