R-22 GOD’S FORGIVENESS 上帝的赦免

Psalm 86:5; Micah 7:18; Psalm 103:10-11; 1 John 1:9; Isaiah 1:18; Psalm 32:1-2 (NKJV)

 

For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,

And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.

 

Who is a God like You,

Pardoning iniquity

And passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage?

 

He does not retain His anger forever,

Because He delights in mercy.

 

He has not dealt with us according to our sins,

Nor punished us according to our iniquities.

 

For as the heavens are high above the earth,

So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

 

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

 

... "Though your sins are like scarlet,

They shall be as white as snow;

Though they are red like crimson,

They shall be as wool.

 

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,

Whose sin is covered.

Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity,

And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

Lyrics - I Just Keep Trusting My Lord

Worship through Prayer

  1. Lord, let my eyes see more of Your loving presence rather than the troubles that surround me. Help me enjoy the peace that You give especially in the midst of trials. Enable me to rest by faith in Your loving arms.

  2. To You, O Lord, I run when the storms of life come my way. You are my Refuge and my Deliverer. Let me find new strength in You to face my trials. Guide me to walk on a safe path when I cannot see the way. Please carry me through safely when I am too weak and unable to move another step. 

  3. Lord, speak to me clearly through my pains. Help me gain wisdom and understanding through the season of trials. Let me know You better and grow in faith through Your Word. Let me emerge out of the fiery trials spiritually stronger and more deeply rooted in You. Thank You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
