Tender Mercies
Now let your unfailing love comfort me, just as you promised me, your servant. Surround me with your tender mercies so I may live, for your law is my delight. Psalm 119:76-77

I have prayed these verses from Psalm 119 for a friend in the hospital battling leukemia. I have also prayed them for a brokenhearted mother whose son is incarcerated and for an older Christian friend who is hospitalized with severe clinical depression following a stroke. When we pray, Lord, may your unfailing love comfort those who need it today. Surround them with your tender mercies. And may they feel and experience and believe the love you have toward them, it is a powerful prayer that God delights to answer, for he is the God of all comfort. He is full of loving-kindness and tender mercies. Do you know someone who is in the midst of a trial, someone who is sick, heartbroken, alone, or in distress and needs to be comforted by the Lord’s unfailing love today? What friends or family members need to be surrounded with God’s tender mercies? As you pray for your friends and loved ones, you can be confident that there is no pain or suffering too deep for the love and mercy of God to reach.
