God is Compassionate

The LORD is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and great in mercy. The LORD is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works. Psalm 145:8-9

We praise You Lord, that in Your compassion, you share in our suffering. You are completely aware of every detail of our lives and you care about every single one of us.

Truly you see and you know. You are full of grace and mercy. We praise you Lord for your tenderness toward us.

You are not a God who is far off but You are present with us, inside our spirits, and you know our worries.

You are patient with us and Your mercy never ends.

We praise You for Your compassion toward us and all we are experiencing.

We know that none of us are perfect, so we come to You to confess and repent. Open our hearts Lord and show us what grieves You. Forgive us Lord and help us to turn away from those things.

Search us, O God, and know our hearts; try us, and know our anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in us, and lead us in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24

Thank you for your forgiveness Lord.

Thank you that these times have brought our communities together.

Thank you that people have come to You in their need.
Thank you that you're here with us.

Thank you for people who have stepped in to serve.
Thank you for those sewing and cooking and donating.

Thank you for all the parents teaching their children at home.

Thank you for the lessening.

Please be gracious and merciful toward people who are doing what they're not used to doing. Strengthen them, equip them, and be their strong source of hope.

Turn our faces to You Lord.

Remind us of the tender mercies you've shown in our lives over and over.

Remind us of Your faithfulness and remind us of how patient You truly are toward us.

Help us to give grace freely and joyfully to everyone we meet.

Help our hands and our hearts to be open, to love people the way You do, and to share their suffering.

Help us to be present for one another and to have Your eyes to see.

We trust You with every single thing Lord and humble ourselves before You.

Be our great deliverer.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
