Pray That The Lord Will Have Mercy On You
Pray That The Lord Will Have Mercy On You
Today, we will pray that the Lord will have mercy on us. What is mercy? Mercy is compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one’s power to punish or harm. Mercy is the compassionate treatment of those in distress, especially when it is within one’s power to punish or harm them. When David sinned against God by sleeping with the wife of Uriah, I believe that he did not get the punishment that his sins deserved. I don’t think that David deserves to be one of the great patriarchs of Jesus, yet, Jesus came from his lineage. God described him as a man after His heart. That must have been by God’s mercy. Pray that the Lord will have mercy on you also.
As a matter of fact, we have all sinned against God and we deserve severe punishment. We deserve death but Jesus gave us life. Jesus had compassion on those who were crucifying Him and He still prayed that God should forgive them. Women like Tamar and Rahab are not supposed to be the great matriarchs of Jesus Christ considering their background. Tamar disguised as a prostitute and slept with her father-in-law, Judah. Rahab was a national prostitute in Jericho who found mercy because she protected the Israelites who came to spy the city of Jericho. If not for God’s mercy, many of us would have been consumed by our sins. Moses the murderer became a prophet by God’s mercy. Paul the persecutor became a great preacher by His mercy.
God Shows Mercy To The Merciful
For you to receive God’s mercy, you must also be merciful. James 2:13 (NKJV) says, “For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.” This scripture says that if you are the type who doesn’t show mercy, judgment will be without mercy for you also. Matthew 5;7 (NKJV) says, “Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. One of the ways to obtain God’s mercy is to show others mercy. Pray that as you are merciful to others, the Lord will have mercy on you.
God’s Mercy Is Great And Abundant
Another thing that is worthy of note about God’s mercy is that His mercy is abundant and it is also great (1 Peter 1:3 and 2 Samuel 24:14). God has the capacity to show us mercy in every area of our lives. Your best is not enough if God does not show you mercy. All your effort will be in vain without His mercy. Your wisdom is nothing but for God’s mercy. You cannot make progress in the kingdom by just leaning on your own understanding. You make progress by God’s mercy. Romans 9;16 (NKJV) says, “So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.” The good news is that God has this mercy in abundance and He is willing to give to all who ask Him.
Many of us know the story of blind Bartimeus. Although he was blind, he regained his sight by crying unto Jesus for mercy. Luke 18:35-38 (NKJV) says, “Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging. 36 And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. 37 So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. 38 And he cried out, saying,“ Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Do we also need God’s mercy today? All we need to do is to cry to God for mercy, and He will show us mercy.

Hebrews 4:14-16 (NKJV)
Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Micah 7:18-19 (NKJV)
Who is a God like You, pardoning iniquity and passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage?
