A Scripture and a Prayer: “No One Like Our God”

“Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy.” (Micah 7:18)

Prayer:

Lord, what can I say to Your lovingkindness towards Your people, and for the favor You have shown in pardoning our sins and forgiving our transgressions. Thank you for Your unswerving faithfulness to those who love and believe in You, that is, Your remnant. And while we stray from Your will and way for our lives and for the life of the church, Your promise is that you will not stay angry, and like the days of Noah, that You will not be angry with us but will look graciously upon us and show us mercy. Your promise is that we can come boldly to Your throne of grace to find mercy in this our time of need, and You have promised that Your mercy is new every single day. Keep us therefore under the shadow of Your wings, and this I ask in Jesus’s name. AMEN
