The Gift of Mercy

“God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”

Matthew 5:7

Talk to God

Lord, You are merciful. We see this in Your compassion, forgiveness, kindness, grace, and generosity. I pray my husband will see himself through Your eyes of mercy. May he experience Your compassion in a fresh way. May he receive Your forgiveness and grace more fully and be astonished at Your kindness and generosity. And as he experiences Your love and care, I pray he will become more merciful, compassionate, forgiving, kind, generous, and grace filled. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Think

Are you characterized by mercy? How could you be more merciful in your actions and responses?

Take Action

The next time your husband does something you’re tempted to comment on or criticize, say nothing and respond with mercy instead.
