“Help us, O God our Savior, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins for your name's sake.” – Psalm 79:9
I am sure at times that God gets disgusted with our behavior and our lack of seeking after him. I'm sure there are moments when he acts to bless us only because we are his people and we wear his name.
But when we cry out, confessing our sins and shortcomings, he is still our Savior. Even when we are not what we should be, God can act out of compassion and preserve the glory of his name.
Scriptures for Anger
Proverbs 15:18
A wrathful man stirs up strife,
But he who is slow to anger allays contention.
Proverbs 29:22
An angry man stirs up strife,
And a furious man abounds in transgression.
Scriptures for Belief
John 1:12
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
John 3:18
He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in
the name of the only begotten Son of God.
The spiritual sluggard
Hebrew 10:24-25
And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Scripture for Charity
But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
