¤¤ [Music] 00:00:01.96\00:00:27.02 Mercy is defined as compassion or forgiveness 00:00:31.36\00:00:34.66 shown towards someone whom it is within one's power to 00:00:34.70\00:00:37.77 punish or harm. 00:00:37.80\00:00:39.13 Basically, mercy is not getting what you deserve. 00:00:39.17\00:00:42.67 Have you ever found yourself needing mercy but didn't feel 00:00:42.70\00:00:46.74 worthy to receive it? 00:00:46.78\00:00:48.28 God's great mercy is found in Lamentations 3:22-24. 00:00:48.31\00:00:52.85 "Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed because His 00:00:52.88\00:00:56.18 compassions fail not, they are new every morning." 00:00:56.22\00:00:59.22 Great is your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion 00:00:59.25\00:01:02.32 says my soul, therefore I hope in Him. 00:01:02.36\00:01:04.73 Have you been treated unjustly yet you have chosen to extend 00:01:04.76\00:01:08.40 mercy? Jesus says in Matthew 5:7 "Blessed are the merciful 00:01:08.43\00:01:13.07 for they shall obtain mercy." 00:01:13.10\00:01:14.94 I am so thankful that no matter my imperfections, 00:01:14.97\00:01:19.17 or even when I'm falsely accused, I serve a loving Father 00:01:19.21\00:01:22.94 who is always quick to forgive and He extends His loving mercy 00:01:22.98\00:01:26.82 in my time of need. 00:01:26.85\00:01:28.18 He's my example of mercy and He longs to hand out mercy 00:01:28.22\00:01:32.52 to you. ¤¤ 00:01:32.55\00:01:37.73 Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you that no matter 00:01:37.76\00:01:42.06 the mistakes we may have made, our shortcomings, or even 00:01:42.10\00:01:47.24 in times of being falsely accused, you are anxiously 00:01:47.27\00:01:51.37 waiting to come to our rescue extending your great mercy 00:01:51.41\00:01:55.94 in our time of need. I thank you Father that as your word 00:01:55.98\00:02:00.62 declares that your mercies really are new with each day 00:02:00.65\00:02:05.72 that you give. I thank you Father that in no matter 00:02:05.75\00:02:10.26 what we may face in this life, we can rest assured in your 00:02:10.29\00:02:14.53 promise and because of your faithfulness we can find 00:02:14.56\00:02:19.80 new mercy every day. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen! 00:02:19.83\00:02:26.07 Merciful Father, in Jesus name, 00:02:26.11\00:02:30.88 We come before the mercy seat seeking grace and mercy. 00:02:30.91\00:02:34.18 We are unworthy of mercy for our rebellions are many, 00:02:34.22\00:02:38.02 though we have gone our own way but you have told us to come 00:02:38.05\00:02:40.89 boldly before your throne of grace that we might find grace 00:02:40.92\00:02:43.66 and mercy to help in time of need. 00:02:43.69\00:02:45.53 Father, we certainly need grace and mercy, 00:02:45.56\00:02:48.06 we might be overcomers and obtain the crown of life 00:02:48.10\00:02:51.03 that you have prepared for us. Heal our selfish rebellious 00:02:51.07\00:02:54.70 fear and give us the new hearts that are like yours. 00:02:54.74\00:02:57.97 Father as you have shown us mercy by forgiving us 00:02:58.01\00:03:02.14 and giving us new hearts just as you have promised. 00:03:02.18\00:03:04.41 Give us we pray mercy for those around us. 00:03:04.45\00:03:07.12 Make us merciful especially to our families and our loved ones 00:03:07.15\00:03:10.95 as well as those who appear to us to be the least of men. 00:03:10.99\00:03:13.62 We thank you for hearing and answering our prayer 00:03:13.66\00:03:15.86 according to your mercies which are so great 00:03:15.89\00:03:18.63 that you sent Jesus to be one of us. Thank you. 00:03:18.66\00:03:21.50 In Jesus name. Amen! 00:03:21.53\00:03:23.10 Years I spent in vanity and pride caring, not my Lord was 00:03:31.67\00:03:40.52 crucified. Knowing not it was for me, He died on Calvary. 00:03:40.55\00:03:56.10 Mercy there was great and grace was free and pardon there 00:03:56.13\00:04:04.11 was multiplied to me. There my burdened soul found liberty 00:04:04.14\00:04:13.28 at Calvary. 00:04:13.31\00:04:23.83 Answer me when I call to you my righteous God. 00:04:23.86\00:04:29.76 Give me relief from my distress, have mercy upon me and hear 00:04:29.80\00:04:34.27 my prayer. Lord, like David in Psalms 4 we cry out to you. 00:04:34.30\00:04:39.47 You are our authority, our Father, our God and the 00:04:39.51\00:04:43.91 author of true mercy. Thank you for being a God of 00:04:44.21\00:04:47.08 compassion and love. Life is sometimes hard 00:04:47.12\00:04:50.55 and without your mercy, we would not be able to face 00:04:50.59\00:04:53.36 each day. Help us see what you want us to see 00:04:53.39\00:04:56.62 and help us to grant to others the same mercy you have given 00:04:56.66\00:05:00.26 to us. Be that constant voice inside our heads and the 00:05:00.30\00:05:05.30 soothing arms around our hearts.
