SO MERCIFUL
Today's reading: Daniel 7-12

"...We do not ask because we deserve help, but because you are so merciful." Daniel 9:18 NLT

I'm rejoicing with a dear friend over some answered prayers in her life. Some things she's been praying for for a while. Some prayer requests that were/are very near to her heart.

I was tickled when she let me know they had been heard, God was at work and lives were being changed. I could sense the excitement in her written words. I know the desires of her heart and the determination of her faith.

It makes me look over my prayer room wall with new anticipation!

Some names and situations have been there a long while. A long while. A long, dust-collecting while. A long, ink is beginning to fade on the paper, while.

Her report has renewed my hope and this morning's verse has reminded me of the power behind the prayers I pray.

It's nothing to do with me, my wall, my faith, my praying skills, my time on my knees or my wording...it's all about His mercy.

His mercy answers all the prayers we pray.

We are undeserving to even speak to Him and yet He hears and answers...and amazes us!
