  2. God is so good-all the time-even when we receive His just judgments, they are part of His Fathering us, so we can become the reward winning objects of His glorious affections. He loves us passionately-see Exod.34:14
    Exodus 34:14

    Common English Bible
    14 You must not bow down to another god, because the Lord is passionate: the Lord’s name means “a passionate God.”
    Amen!
    7 I will tell of the Lord’s unfailing love.
    I will praise the Lord for all he has done.
    I will rejoice in his great goodness to Israel,
    which he has granted according to his mercy and love.
    8 He said, “They are my very own people.
    Surely they will not betray me again.”
    And he became their Savior.
    9 In all their suffering he also suffered,
    and he personally[a] rescued them.
    In his love and mercy he redeemed them.
    He lifted them up and carried them
    through all the years.
    10 But they rebelled against him
    and grieved his Holy Spirit.
    So he became their enemy
    and fought against them.

    11 Then they remembered those days of old
    when Moses led his people out of Egypt.
    They cried out, “Where is the one who brought Israel through the sea,
    with Moses as their shepherd?
    Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit
    to be among his people?
    12 Where is the one whose power was displayed
    when Moses lifted up his hand—
    the one who divided the sea before them,
    making himself famous forever?
    13 Where is the one who led them through the bottom of the sea?
    They were like fine stallions
    racing through the desert, never stumbling.
    14 As with cattle going down into a peaceful valley,
    the Spirit of the Lord gave them rest.
    You led your people, Lord,
    and gained a magnificent reputation.”
    Prayer for Mercy and Pardon

    15 Lord, look down from heaven;
    look from your holy, glorious home, and see us.
    Where is the passion and the might
    you used to show on our behalf?
    Where are your mercy and compassion now?
    16 Surely you are still our Father!
    Even if Abraham and Jacob[b] would disown us,
    Lord, you would still be our Father.
    You are our Redeemer from ages past.
    17 Lord, why have you allowed us to turn from your path?
    Why have you given us stubborn hearts so we no longer fear you?
    Return and help us, for we are your servants,
    the tribes that are your special possession.
    18 How briefly your holy people possessed your holy place,
    and now our enemies have destroyed it.
    19 Sometimes it seems as though we never belonged to you,
    as though we had never been known as your people.
