Praying God's Great and Precious Promise: Mercy

Praying God’s great and precious promise over our spouse, loved ones and ourselves this morning.  Today’s promise is MERCY.  Jesus says in Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.  Jesus is saying blessed are the ones who reach out and help the distressed, the oppressed, the depressed.  We are blessed when we wrap our arms in compassion around the suffering, the ones who are troubled, the ones who are burdened.
 
In our home, I teach our children to always think JOY: Jesus, Others, Yourself.  So often we can find ourselves immersed in our own world, our own needs, our own situations that we forget there are people all around us in need of care. Helping others come with a promise… that in return in our time of needing care we will be cared for because we cared for others in their time of need.   
 
Father, I come to You today to thank You for the promise of MERCY.  Thank You for Your compassion for us.  I hold up my spouse to You today, my children, my loved ones and myself up to You today and ask that we do not miss the moments of showing mercy to the ones around us.  Help us to remember to lift up our chin and turn our hearts and eyes to the ones that are in need of compassion, that is in need of mercy; the ones that feel the weight of the world on them, the ones that are enduring pain and suffering due to a sickness or maybe a loss of a loved one.  Lord, maybe there are ones around us being rejected or abandoned.  Show us those people, Lord, so we can extend mercy to them so that we can care for them and help them.  Let our children understand the beauty of showing mercy to others at an early age. If there is anybody reading this and they are in need of a healing touch from You, may they receive Your healing for their body today so that they can rise up and care for others.  Lord, we praise You and thank You for mercy.  In Jesus’ name. Amen

    Who am I?  Galatians 2:20 does a great job of summing up who I am.  My life is His, the One who loves me and gave Himself for me . In return, I want to be all He wants me to be and do all He wants me to do on this side of Heaven.

    I am passionate about His word, family and being a part of the solution of the fatherless in our world. My prayer is to encourage and equip you no matter what season of life you find yourself in.  I believe God wants to raise you up and flow through you to impact your family and others.  So what are you waiting for?! Let's do this! :)

    Feel free to connect with me or join in on any conversation we may have on the blog.
