Passion for Praise: 'Compassion and Mercy'

Tuesday, December 9, 1947

But you, O Lord, are a God of compassion and mercy, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness. Look down and have mercy on me. Give your strength to your servant; save me, the son of your servant.
— Psalm 86:15-16 NLT
