Prayer for a Merciful Heart

Jesus, help me to share your mercy with others.

Help me to remember I don’t see the whole picture in another person’s life.

Send your Spirit to change me so that people feel love from me instead of judgment.

Mercy would be blessing another when I feel tempted to judge.

Help me to remember that mercy triumphs over judgment (James 2:13), and no one is a stranger to you.

Amen.
