To Have An Answer

The Psalmist by his prayers in these verses, shows us how utterly dependent every believer is upon God for a continuing supply of mercy to come to him so that he might be delivered from the reproach of men and glorify God in his words and deeds in a life of faith and obedience. Every Christian is entirely dependent upon God's mercy to make progress in holiness. So the question which I will attempt to answer from this text is this – What should a Christian pray for and hope for, in relation to God's mercy? I think that we can find 4 things that the Christian hopes for, and prays for, in relation to the mercy of God.
