Psalm 51:1

“Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.” Psalm 51:1

David wrote this Psalm one year after he committed adultery, deception and murder. He had been struggling with the guilt of his sin without success, until he looked to God's unfailing love and mercy to blot out his sin.

We often struggle with guilt, feeling unworthy to even approach God for forgiveness and mercy. Let's remember His unfailing love and His great compassion so that we can boldly come to His for forgiveness. I realised that I haven't been meditating on the characters of God, His mercy, His faithfulness, His Love, His compassion and give thanks to Him for who He is. When I don't do this, I tend to forget God and lean on my own understanding and strength. I must remember to meditate on Him more regularly.
