===
For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you. Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; listen to my plea for grace. In the day of my trouble I call upon you, for you answer me.
Psalm 86:5-7
As I read this passage, it seems like this is a prayer from a person who knows that he has sinned and needs forgiveness. The suggestion is that if God wasn’t a forgiving god, we would have little hope that our prayers would be listened to and answered.
This is good news for sinful people who have days of trouble and who need grace and steadfast love.
Pray to this God. Trust this God. Call upon this God.
