Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name’s sake. — Psalm 79:9

God must occasionally feel appalled by our actions and our failure to seek him out. There are undoubtedly times when he just blesses us because we are his people and bear his name. But while we cry out, repenting of our sin and failings, he is still our Savior. repenting of our transgressions and failings. God is still able to show mercy and uphold the honor of his name even though we fall short of what we ought to be.

Prayer

Holy and righteous God, our Savior and Abba Father, please pardon us for our sins, disobedience, failures, and deceit. Deliver usfrom the mediocrity that penetrates our dedication to you as well as the effects of our sin. Set us on fire with your holy zeal in us to find your glory and the glory of your name. You alone, O God, are our Savior! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
