"The LORD is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love"
(Psalm 145: 8) .

Father,

We pray the fruit of the Spirit over our lives,
and Your armor over the state of our souls.

God, we come to You for forgiveness daily,
with cracked phone screens and broken hearts.

Our anger costs us, Father,
but You are always there to pick up the pieces.

When we look at a shattered screen,
we cannot see a way to repair it.

We stick a screen protector over it
or cover it with packing tape to hold it together,
but we cannot in our own power
reverse the effects of the breaking.

You can, Father.
When our hearts are shattered, our relationships, marriages, our very lives,
You are there to piece back together
what our anger and this sinful world shatters.

Thank You, Jesus,
for being everything we cannot be.

For following the law perfectly and sacrificing Yourself to put us back together.

We come to You, unable to avoid sin,
but free from its permanent hold on our lives.

Continue to free us, teach us, heal us, and make our hearts more like Yours, Father.

Surrounded in mercy, grace, love faithfulness and compassion.
This is who we want to be. Who we were meant to be,
and will be again someday in eternity.

A day only You know. Increase our trust in You.
Let us lead honest, consistent lives, within the love of Christ.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen.
