SSB Prayer Prods – February 25, 2026
Psalm 103:13-18
13As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
14For he knows our frame;
he remembers that we are dust.
15As for man, his days are like grass;
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
16for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
and its place knows it no more.
17But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children’s children,
18to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.
