May your Mercy fall upon me.

 May Your Mercy Fall Upon Me

A Prayer from Psalm 51:1, Lamentations 3:22-23, and Micah 7:18-19

May Your mercy fall upon me—like the morning dew,

Fresh and new and covering, in all I say and do.

Not by my deserving, not by works I bring,

But by Your lovingkindness, by the grace of the King.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your unfailing love; according to Your great compassion, blot out my transgressions. (Psalm 51:1)

May Your mercy fall upon me—a river from above,

A healing stream of kindness, a testament of love.

Wash away my failures, cleanse me from within,

And let Your mercy be the place where new life can begin.

Mercy—not getting what I deserve,

A pardon that my striving could never, ever serve.

It meets me in my weakness, it greets me at my fall,

And lifts me from the mud and mire, restoring my all.

Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)

May Your mercy fall upon me—in the silence of the night,

When I cannot see the way, when I have lost my sight.

Let it cover my regrets, let it heal my hidden shame,

And let me rise to walk again in the freedom of Your name.

May Your mercy fall upon my family, upon my home,

Upon the broken, the weary, the ones who roam.

Let Your compassion reach the farthest, the forgotten, the lost,

And let Your mercy be the banner, no matter what the cost.

Who is a God like You, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. (Micah 7:18)

So I receive Your mercy—not as a wage I've earned,

But as a gift of grace, a lesson I have learned.

May Your mercy fall upon me—today, tomorrow, always,

And let my life be a reflection of Your merciful, loving ways.

Amen.
