Unmerited Favor

O LORD, You showed favor to Your land; You restored the captivity of Jacob. You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin. Selah. You withdrew all Your fury; You turned away from Your burning anger. (Psalms 85:1-3)

Lord, throughout the history of man You have shown Yourself to be longsuffering, merciful, gracious and loving. Despite man’s rejection of You, You have never rejected man.

Through my life, even in my darkest and deepest pits of sin, You did not forsake me, You waited for me to come to You. And when I turned, You opened Your arms to receive me.

Lord, thank You that Your word is unchanging, Your nature is eternal, Your life is abundant.

Thank You Lord that your promises will never fail.
