God\u2019s Grace \u00a0 Day 13
\nThe Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.\u00a0 <\/em>Psalm 103:8 NKJV<\/p>\n

Message<\/u>:
\nOur Lord is abounding in compassion, forgiveness, and patience; therefore, He is slow to get angry.
\nWe can be so grateful we have a Lord like this for we all have struggled with being merciful, gracious, and patient ourselves at some point, I know I have; therefore, I am thankful I have a loving, forgiving Lord Who shows me mercy and grace daily.<\/p>\n

Prayer:<\/u>
\nThank You Lord for being patient with us, Your children, who walk in this world daily, yet we are not of this world.\u00a0 We try our best to follow You daily, yet sometimes we may get distracted, lose our focus and fall into sin. We are so grateful we have You, a Lord who is abounding in mercy, slow to anger, and gracious, that we can run to, repent, and receive forgiveness.\u00a0 Thank You Lord, for always being there for us.\u00a0 In Jesus name I pray.\u00a0 Amen.<\/p>\n
