adoration

pray this praise to God

I will praise you my God and exalt your name forever. For the whole earth is full of your goodness, faithfulness, glory, and mercy. Therefore, bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Who is gracious concerning all your transgression and heals all your diseases. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in goodness. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our transgressions and according to what we deserve. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, and as far as it is from the rising of the sun to its setting, so far his goodness and mercy surpasses all our transgressions.

And as a father shows compassion to his children, so God has shown compassion to us. For when we were still in sin and his enemies, he gave us his only Son, so that we may live through him. He made his flesh and blood into true food for us, and by his death he brought us to eternal life. He is the Lamb of God, the reconciliation for our sin, the only and perfect pledge of Grace. For if God gave us his dear Son, and delivered him unto death for us, he will nevermore forsake us, but from then on be gracious, faithful, and merciful. Therefore, my mouth and heart shall proclaim the praise of the Lord and highly exalt him.

And all men shall praise his goodness and mercy forever, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
