Questions

Are we grieved and broken over our sin that we are willing to weep, pray, fast and cry out to the Lord with our faces to the ground in holy surrender, knowing the God we are lamenting to?

Are you aware of the great mercy you have received and in your lament over the painful endurance you now walk through due to someone else’s sin, are you able to ask God to help you forgive them and show them the same mercy God has shown you?
