Personal Prayer
As you praise God today, focus on his great mercy (Ps. 108:4). Thank him for taking delight in surrounding you with his mercy (Mic. 7:18). Confess that in the busyness of life you sometimes forget his mercy to you. Commit yourself to extending that same kind of loving mercy to others who are in need. Ask God to grant you his peace and fellowship as you live for him this day.

For Your Family and Friends
Thank God for showing his mercy to your family. Pray that any unbelieving family members will turn from sin to the Lord.

For the Church
Pray that your church will also extend God’s mercy to the needy and impoverished members of your community. Ask that God will open eyes to see opportunities for service.

For the Kingdom
Ask that the church will increasingly become a haven of hope and healing for some who seek answers only in the psychiatrist’s office.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that unsaved people you know will discover that God really is full of mercy, and that that is what they ultimately need!
