This first Sunday in our Lenten journey I wanted to revisit a scripture we saw earlier this week. Psalm 103 came up as we were looking into God our healer, but there is so much we see about God in these first 10 verses. There is so much to praise Him for!

Psalm 103: 1-10
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
    and all that is within me,
    bless his holy name! He is holy.
² Bless the Lord, O my soul,
    and forget not all his benefits, He is filled with blessings.
³ who forgives all your iniquity,
    who heals all your diseases, He heals and forgives.
⁴ who redeems your life from the pit,
    who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, He redeems and crowns.
⁵ who satisfies you with good
    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. He renews and satisfies.

⁶ The Lord works righteousness
    and justice for all who are oppressed. He is righteous and just.
⁷ He made known his ways to Moses,
    his acts to the people of Israel. He makes Himself known to us.
⁸ The Lord is merciful and gracious,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He is gracious and merciful.
⁹ He will not always chide,
    nor will he keep his anger forever. His anger is limited.
¹⁰ He does not deal with us according to our sins,
    nor repay us according to our iniquities. He is merciful towards us.

Use these aspects of God today in your prayers and thank Him for His abundant goodness and mercy towards us. Because Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead, we can approach God in prayer and know that He hears us.

Hear our prayers today of Lord.
