PÂLAL: To Intervene, Intercede – Simple patterns of prayers

Remember your mercy, O LORD, and your steadfast love, for they have been from of old. Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O LORD! Psalms 25:6-7

“Remember” and “Remember not”. Here is an excellent two-point request pattern for prayer. Note what the Psalmist asks God to remember and “forget” in verses 6-7. Now think of the person you like the least (hint—the one you find yourself critiquing the most). What would change if you remembered them according to God’s steadfast love and goodness instead of their sins?
