Praying into God's Mercy

Because you have messed up, you might not want to approach God. You might even feel unworthy to come before God with what you have done or you might doubt that God can help your in time of need.

Consider the words of the Psalmist:

"Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
until the destroying storms pass by." Ps. 57:1

The psalmist recognized that in a time of danger, he could put aside all unworthiness and approach God for help.

When you do need help or forgiveness, how willing are you to come before God? Can you let yourself live under the umbrella of God's mercy? Can you put away your pride? It might take more effort, but you will feel the peace that can only come from God. You might even experience the deliverance and answer to prayer that you need.
