Adoration:

Thoughts to Consider:
When we reflect on the wrath of God, it reminds us of His holiness, justice, and righteousness. God’s wrath is not arbitrary; it is a response to sin and injustice. In our adoration, we acknowledge His perfect nature and the seriousness of sin.

Scripture:

1. Psalm 7:11 – “God is a righteous judge, a God who displays his wrath every day.”
2. Romans 1:18 – “The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people who suppress the truth by their wickedness.”

Confession:

Thoughts to Consider:
Understanding God’s wrath leads us to recognize our own sinfulness and need for repentance. We can confess our sins, acknowledging that they separate us from God and deserve His righteous judgment.

Scripture:

1. 1 John 1:9 – “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
2. Psalm 51:4 – “Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge.”

Thanksgiving:

Thoughts to Consider:
We can be thankful for God’s mercy and grace that shield us from the full extent of His wrath. Through Jesus Christ, we have been offered forgiveness and reconciliation, which is a profound reason for gratitude.

Scripture:

1. Ephesians 2:3-5 – “All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.”
2. Romans 5:9 – “Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!”

Supplication:

Thoughts to Consider:
In light of God’s wrath, we can pray for ourselves and others to seek His mercy and grace. We can ask God to help us align our hearts with His will and to empower us to live righteously, avoiding the path that leads to His judgment.

Scripture:

1. James 1:19-20 – “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.”
2. Psalm 86:15 – “But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.”

These reflections can help guide your prayer life as you seek to understand the fullness of God’s character, including His wrath, alongside His love and mercy.
