Mercy for the Sick

In praying for yourself or someone else during times of sickness, never be reluctant to ask God for mercy, because that's who He is. He will show mercy. Leave the details and results to the One who is full of mercy.

Sometime it's difficult to know just how to pray for the sick. If you or a loved one is sick, you certainly want to pray for healing. God is the Healer. However, sometime you may think that your faith is not adequate to expect immediate healing. In those times, ask God for mercy. You can rest assured that God is merciful.

Knowing who God is should help you know how to pray. The attributes of God are many. One of them is mercy. God is full of loving kindness and tender mercy. God's mercy may bring healing. His mercy comes to us in many different ways. Never be reluctant to ask God for mercy.

"For indeed, he was sick almost unto death;
but God had mercy on him, and not only on him
but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow."

Philippians 2:27
