God is:

Numbers 14:18
"The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, to the third and the fourth generation."

"You are a God ready to forgive,gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and did not forsake them."

My Evening Prayer

Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning. Give attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you do I pray. O LORD, in the morning you hear my voice (Psa. 5:1-3). Your anger is but for a moment, and your favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with morning (Psa. 30:5). Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul (Psa. 143:8). Satisfy me in the morning with your steadfast love, that I may rejoice and be glad all my days (Psa. 90:14). It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night (Psa. 92:1-2). I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning (Psa. 59:16). The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness (Lam. 3:22). For this is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it (Psa. 118:24).
