Day 12 - Merciful

Then David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Let us fall into the hand of the Lord for His mercy is great, but let me not fall into the hand of man.”
2 Samuel 24:14

Prayer

Lord, thank You for Your mercy. There is no part of my existence and experience that hasn’t passed through Your merciful hands. You are unceasingly merciful—You withhold what we deserve. On Your mercy I stand and do not waiver. Because of Your mercy, I have relationship with You. Because of Your mercy, I can face obstacles. Because of your mercy, I live and breathe. Help me to show others mercy. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Response

On a scale of 0-10 (0 being least likely to be merciful, 10 being most likely) contemplate how likely you are to give random people outside of your family things they don’t deserve.
