But the Lord our God is merciful and forgiving,
even though we have rebelled against him.
Daniel 9:9 NLT

***
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is merciful and compassionate,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
He is eager to relent and not punish.
Joel 2:13b NLT
***
Kind and merciful God,
You know that my spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak.
I get distracted and forget to listen for Your voice.
I stumble off of Your path and miss Your way.
In doing so, I have sinned against You.
God, be merciful to me because of your faithful love.
Because of your great compassion,
erase all the wrongs I have done. (Psalm 51:1 ERV)
I praise and thank You, for You have heard my request for mercy,
and accepted my prayer. (Psalm 6:9 ERV)
In the Name of Jesus Christ, my Lord, Amen.
