Prayers of the Heart: Let and Let Not in Psalm 119: Let Thy Mercies Come

 

"Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word." — Psalm 119:41
"Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant." — Psalm 119:76
"Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight." — Psalm 119:77

The psalmist asks for God's mercy because he knows that salvation comes only from Him. Salvation is our greatest need, and God's greatest gift. Without God's mercy, no one can be saved. Therefore, everyone who desires salvation must seek His mercy.

The psalmist also asks for comfort, recognizing that true comfort comes from God's mercy.

He seeks God's mercy in order to live. Without it, life becomes meaningless and purposeless.

I, too, seek God's mercy to live a life that is pleasing to Him—in holiness, obeying His Word, serving Him, and sharing His mercy with others.

This prayer will surely be answered because it aligns with God's will, and this desire will surely come true.
