“You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.”  Psalm 86:5

Dear Lord, I can’t tell you how many times when I start to pray, I think, “He doesn’t want to hear from me, I’m the person who did this or that sin.  He must be so put out with me.”  This passage from your word gives me courage to approach you in prayer, not demanding an audience before your heavenly throne but believing you are a tender father who loves me with a forgiving heart.  I can forget my sins because you have.  We can get on with a relationship because you have reconciled both of us.  Your grace in your son, makes my prayer life possible.  Thank you for loving me way beyond my mistakes.  Now, be my God and make my day the incredible gift you want it to be.  Amen.

One thing about God being God is that nothing can ruin his love or his plans.
