Please be Gracious to me.

 Please Be Gracious to Me

A Prayer from Psalm 86:3, Numbers 6:25, and 2 Corinthians 12:9

Please be gracious to me, O Lord—not because I have earned Your favor,

But because Your mercy flows like a river, a never‑ending savor.

I come with empty hands, a heart that knows its need,

And I ask for nothing more than the grace that is Your creed.

Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to You I cry all day long. (Psalm 86:3)

Be gracious in my failures, when I stumble and I fall.

Let Your compassion meet me, and answer when I call.

Do not turn Your face away, nor mark my every sin.

Let the light of Your forgiveness find the way to enter in.

Be gracious in my weakness, for there Your power is made strong.

When I have no strength to carry on, let Your grace become my song.

Not by my might, not by my will, but by Your Spirit’s art,

Please be gracious, Lord, and heal the brokenness within my heart.

“The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.” (Numbers 6:25)

Be gracious in my waiting, when the answer seems so slow.

Let patience be the fruit that in this garden starts to grow.

I trust Your timing, trust Your heart, though I cannot see the way.

Be gracious, Lord, and give me peace to rest in You today.

So I receive Your grace—not as a wage, but as a gift.

My weary spirit You will lift.

Please be gracious to me, Lord—today and every day.

Your grace is sufficient; in that, I will stay.

“My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)

Amen.
