Here’s another gem—another of many—from the gospel of Luke (Message version): "God had overwhelmed her with mercy."
May it be so for each of us.
If you don't know how to pray for another person, pray that they be under God's mercy, overwhelmed with God's mercy. Even if you think you know how to pray for another person, pray that God's mercy covers them. If you don't know how to pray for yourself, pray for God's mercy in your life. When you read the word mercy, think love.
Hope flows from the mercy of God.
