Ask For God’s Mercy

July 8, 2025

“Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭127‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

There is virtually nothing good a man can achieve without the mercy of God which provides the platform for His help.
It is only by God’s mercy that you can start and finish any project successfully.

No matter how much you labour at anything, you can only succeed by the mercy of God. It is God’s mercy that grants us the help we need.

A hardworking fisherman like Peter can fish all night and catch nothing (Luke 5:5). That is why wise people, when they need help, ask God for mercy.

In Mark 10:47, Bartimaeus kept crying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me”. Jesus had mercy on him. In Luke 17:11-19, the ten lepers saw Jesus, stood far away and cried for mercy: they were cleansed.

What is that problem you need a solution to? Change your prayer point today and just ask God for mercy.

Father, please have mercy on me. Help me overcome all my problems, in Jesus name.

Shalom!
