Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
Psalm 123:3 (KJV)
Many times in life, there will be struggles, but who is here with us to help us and encourage us? The answer – God is. He is always with you. So let’s pray to Him in times of trouble. Sometimes we need to cry to someone for help, and we can cry to the Lord for help. When we have failed or are struggling, we can ask God to have mercy on us. Wow! What an amazing promise. When we sin, we can also look up to heaven and cry to the King of Kings.
What’s so amazing about this? God’s grace is abounding with love. If you ask God to forgive you with a penitent heart and turn away from your sins, God’s grace and love will blot out your sin. Your relationship will be restored with Him.
Today I encourage you to pray to God. Spend time with Him throughout the day. If you have sinned, pray to God to forgive you. Make sure you are truly sorry for your sins. If you are going through a difficult trial, ask God to help you, and His Spirit will comfort you.
I grew up in a Christian home, but I never really came to know the Lord until I was twelve years old. As I’ve matured, the Lord has sanctified me in Him by His grace, allowing me to better glorify and honor Him.
In middle and high school, I discovered my interest in essays and informational writing. As a Christian, I took my love for God and my love writing and squeezed them together into blog posts on my blog, which has turned into what is now the Truth and Love Ministries (TLM) Blog. When I was assigned to create a YouTube video for my Old Testament final in high school, I learned about my revived love for creating YouTube content. The next summer, the videos and the blog posts would turn my YouTube channel into an extension of the blog and TLM.
Since then, I have continued to grow in the Lord and His Word, and as a student at The Master’s University, I am continually learning in my Bible classes about the greatness, deepness, and perfection of God Word. I hope to one day use the bachelors in Marketing Media that I am pursuing to share the the profoundness of God’s special revelation to His people.
