A Prayer for Friday, October 28, 2011

“Have Mercy on Us”

Lord, have mercy on us.

You know how badly in need of your mercy we all are.

Give us awareness and acceptance of those places in our lives where we need your mercy.

Give us persistence and passion to keep on asking for your mercy even over the objections of those who think and say that we should not be asking you for what we need.

Give us grace and insight always to be aware of the ways in which we have received and are receiving your mercy.

You know how badly in need of your mercy we all are.

Lord, have mercy on us.

Amen.

“As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. There were two blind men sitting by the roadside. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they shouted, ‘Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!’ The crowd sternly ordered them to be quiet; but they shouted even more loudly, ‘Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David!’” (Matthew 20:29-31)
