Pray for Families (Gifts of Compassion and Forgiveness)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

I prayed to the LORD, my God, and confessed, “Ah, Lord, great and awesome God, you who keep your covenant and show mercy toward those who love you and keep your commandments and your precepts! We have sinned, been wicked and done evil; we have rebelled and turned from your commandments and your laws. But to the Lord, our God, belong compassion and forgiveness.  Daniel 9:4-5, 9

Lord, you are so kind and compassionate.  Then why do we have such a hard time following you?? Is it because we are not? Is it because we are stubborn?

Good and gracious God, help us to see our sin and grant us the desire to turn away from it and follow you.  For you are our hope, our joy, and our eternal respite. Grant us faith and trust in you, as well as the gifts of compassion and forgiveness. We ask these gifts for our entire family. Meet each member where they are at in their spiritual journey and guide them to truth. Alleviate the weight of their crosses that they may see your compassion. May we all praise you endlessly, our Lord and our God!

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
