Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. — Psalm 103:13

Empathy. God, my Father, bestows on me mercy rather than regret, wrath, humiliation, restlessness, rejection, or abandonment. My suffering is of significance to him so that he shares it in Jesus and comes into my world to share it with me.

Prayer

Thank you, Father of Mercies and God of all Compassion, for sending me help in Jesus and the Holy Spirit in addition to knowing about and caring about my struggles and problems. I can see your love and mercy through one, and your might and power through the other. May the relationships I have reflect your compassionate Spirit. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
