Bless the Lord, O my soul;
Psalms 103: 1-4
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
3 Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
In today’s post, I will discuss the benefit of God’s mercy and how we can take advantage of it.
The mercy of God means God showing you compassion, God showing you His kindness, God caring about and God forgiving you of your wrongdoings.
God is merciful and He wants to show us His mercy. God is always faithful to us even though we are unfaithful to God and that is one of the ways He shows us mercy.

How to access the mercy of God
One of the ways to access the mercy of God is by praying to God for mercy. The Bible say we should ask and we shall receive.
The truth is that we are not meant to ask once we need to keep asking until our joy is full.
I’m sure we can’t exhaust the benefit of God’s mercy which is why we need to keep asking for the mercy of God daily.
22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;[a]
Lamentation 3: 22-23
his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
Conclusion
We all need the mercy of God daily and the Bible says that God renews His Mercy daily.
This shows that God wants us to request new mercy from Him daily. You need to keep asking for the mercy of God daily until you have enjoyed all the benefits of God’s mercy.
The way the mercy of God works is unexplainable, it makes wonders happen in your life. Things changing around in your favour suddenly.
I feel it is a good idea if we can take one day in the month and use it to ask God for mercy.
If you are in an ugly situation, the mercy of God is all you need to ask for to change your ugly story to a beautiful one.
