That is why the Lord says, “Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me your hearts. Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning. Don’t tear your clothing in your grief, but tear your hearts instead.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. He is eager to relent and not punish.
Joel 2:12-13 NLT
God, thank You for being slow to anger, even when I am not. Forgive me when I am quick to judge, gossip, and do other things that sadden You. Teach my tongue to speak with love, my ears to hear with compassion, and my heart to respond with grace. In Jesus' name, Amen.
