God is good; He hears us

 You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you. Hear my prayer, Lord; listen to my cry for mercy.  When I am in distress, I call to you, because you answer me. ~Psalm 86:5-7

6 It is comforting to know just how good and loving God is.  My sins are ever before me, but He forgives me.  "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)  and responds to me with love when I call to Him.  He is merciful and He listens to my prayers and cries for mercy.  When I am in distress He answers me. He does not leave me hanging out there.  He never leaves me nor forsakes me (Hebrews 13:5).  

Yes, He corrects me when I am wrong, but He never abandons me.  Rather He reminds me that I am His child.  He holds me close and removes the fears and doubts. He washes me(Psalm 51:10). He fights for me (Exodus 14:14).  When and where I am weak, He is strong (2 Corinthians 12:9).   He is God and He is good.

Father, thank You for opening up Your heart to me.  Thank You for Your loving-kindness and grace.  Thank You for allowing me to come to You and receive comfort.  Thank Your for being a very present help.  Thank You for hearing my prayer.  Bless this land and its leaders.  May our hearts turn to You and call to You.  May we seek You with our whole hearts.  Heal our hearts and our land.  In Jesus name.  Amen
