“O Israel, my faithless people,~ Jeremiah 3:12-13 (NLT)
come home to me again,
for I am merciful.
I will not be angry with you forever.
Only acknowledge your guilt.
Admit that you rebelled against the Lord your God...
The Lord isn’t slow about keeping his promises, as some people think he is. In fact, God is patient, because he wants everyone to turn from sin and no one to be lost. ~ 2 Peter 3:9 (CEV)
Merciful and faithful God, thank you for being patient with me. I regret that I am not always so patient with you or other people. I'm demanding. I want justice now! Help me with that bad attitude. I know that I need to turn away from that way of thinking. Build a patient heart in me so that I can help others turn to you. I'm glad that you have been slow to judge me. I really need that consideration. Amen.
