God's goodness

The Lord is good!
His love and faithfulness
     will last forever.

~ Psalm 100:5 (CEV)

God our Savior showed us
     how good and kind he is.
He saved us because of his mercy,
     and not because
     of any good things
     that we have done.

God washed us by the power
     of the Holy Spirit.
He gave us new birth
     and a fresh beginning.

~ Titus 3:4-5 (CEV)

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Recount all the ways that God has been and is good to us.

PRAYER
God, I want to acknowledge your goodness to us and especially to me. I admit that I let that reality slip from my mind as I struggle with all the challenges of life. Yet I know that recounting your goodness is what will get me through the challenges. Help me to create an ongoing mental list that revolves around your generosity. I'm going to take on this day armed with gratitude for your love, faithfulness, and goodness. Amen.
