HIS COMPASSION NEVER FAILS 

“Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation.” Henry Ward Beecher

PRAY:  O God, have mercy on me! According to Your unfailing love and Your great compassion, blot out my transgressions. Please let me not feel consumed, because You promise me that Your compassions never fail. I need You now, O God and I ask you to pour Your compassion on to me, Your weak, broken and sinful servant. Amen

REFLECT:  Do you ever feel that God can't forgive you for something you've done or that He can't wipe away your sins. Do you get consumed with discouragement, regret, or even despair and struggle with how in the world God could ever blot out your transgressions? Well, Psalm 51:1 and Lamentations 3:22 show you how to pray and then God's response to that prayer. As we cry out for mercy, the Lord's great love for us stops us from being consumed. His compassions never, ever fail!

ACT:  Make a list of one to three things you've said or done that you feel guilty about, regret or think can't be forgiven. Then read the prayer out loud in Psalm 51:1, followed by God's promise in Lamentations 3:22. Now you have given these burdens to the Lord and He has poured His compassion on you. They are over. It is done. And you are not consumed by them any more. He has just blotted out your transgressions and you are white as snow. Continue your day with praise and thanksgiving, and don't look back!
