Mercy

Surround me with your tender mercies so I may live, for your instructions are my delight. ~ Psalm 119:77 (NLT)

Now Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a high fever. They told Jesus about her right away. So he went to her bedside, took her by the hand, and helped her sit up. Then the fever left her, and she prepared a meal for them. ~ Mark 1:30-31 (NLT)

SUMMARY SENTENCE:
Mercy happens when we make room for God in our lives.
PRAYER:
Loving God, thank you for reaching out to touch me at my point of need. Often I'm in no position to truly respond but you take me by the hand anyway. Help me to sit up and take notice so that I can serve you. Amen.
