We Pray

28 Day Devotional, Day 20:

Mercy Assumed

Are people saved because of their goodness, kindness and attractiveness? Impossible! We are not rescued, helped or saved because we are good… but because we received mercy. We do not need fairness; we need merciful grace. Daniel had already seen and spoken about God’s justice. Now he was pleading for His mercy and grace. We could learn from his example.

Prayer: Dear merciful God, we come to you with nothing in ourselves. You have proven yourself as faithful, trustworthy, and kind. Thank you for the many times you’ve shown mercy and grace to me in the past. I am forever grateful. In faith I focus my eyes on you, Lord. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Daniel 9:18 KJV
O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.
