Generous Lord, thank you for the undeserved grace and forgiveness you give to all your people. Forgive me for my envy of my neighbors' blessings. Help me see that you have abundantly provided for all of my needs. Today I pray that you will use me to bless another. Amen.
(From "Daily Texts")

1 I love the LORD, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.
2 Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.
3 The cords of death entangled me,
the anguish of the grave [a] came upon me;
I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD :
"O LORD, save me!"
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.
6 The LORD protects the simplehearted;
when I was in great need, he saved me.
Psalm 116 New International Version
