Mercy Upon Us?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who ask that you have mercy upon us. In Jesus name, amen.
Synonyms for the word “mercy” include compassion, clemency, and forgiveness.
In Psalm 123:1-4 (ESV) the psalmist looks to God and repeatedly asks God for his mercy.
“To you I lift up my eyes,
O you who are enthroned in the heavens!
Behold, as the eyes of servants
look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maidservant
to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God,
till he has mercy upon us.
Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
for we have had more than enough of contempt.
Our soul has had more than enough
of the scorn of those who are at ease,
of the contempt of the proud.”
Do you ever think about how merciful God is? He sent his son, Jesus, to take away the sin of the world by dying on the cross. He was buried and rose from the dead.
Yes, he sent his son to die for you. Believe. Ask God for his mercy now.
