So get rid of everything evil in your lives—every kind of wrong you do. Be humble and accept God’s teaching that is planted in your hearts. This teaching can save you. ~ James 1:21 (ERV)
Lord God, your mercy inspires me to stop acting like an evil idiot. Of course, I've been doing my evil in a subtle way so that no one would notice. But you notice. And instead of squashing me under your giant divine thumb, you remind me of how much you love me, how you sent Jesus to die for me, and how you want to forgive me. I'm taking you up on your kind offers. I'm going to start paying more attention to the voice of your messenger that is already active in my life. Show me how to live as a forgiven person who has received great mercy. Thank you for your mercy. Amen.
