The Mercy, Compassion, and Unfailing Love of Our God

The LORD is merciful and compassionate,
    slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
The LORD is good to everyone.
    He showers compassion on all his creation.
All of your works will thank you, LORD,
    and your faithful followers will praise you.

—Psalm 145:8-10 (NLT)

Merciful and Compassionate LORD,

Thank You for the mercy and compassion with which You show us Your unfailing love.  Let my heart and voice forever join the chorus of all of Your creation in unending thanks and praise to You!

Thank You for the kindness and tenderheartedness that You pour out so generously upon us—the ones that do not deserve it and could never earn it on our own—and for the great patience You demonstrate for all of us who fail You.

Thank You that Your love is unfailing—like an ever-flowing fountain of kindness which floods the earth filling every part with the evidence of Your great and enduring love for that which You have created.

Thank You that Your goodness is not only poured out on those that love You back, but that it is poured out on all of Your creation—so that Your glory would be seen and all Your works would come to offer up thanksgiving and praise to You, just as they were created to do.

Thank You for the mercy and compassion with which You show us Your unfailing love.  Let my heart and voice forever join the chorus of all of Your creation in unending thanks and praise to You!

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
