“Make joyful the soul of Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift my soul. For You, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in mercy to all who call on You.” Psalm 86:4-5
When we lift our souls to the Lord, we can rejoice because He is “good and forgiving, abounding in mercy to all who call on” Him. When we humble ourselves, acknowledge our sins and failures, and look to the Lord God in faith for mercy, we can come away with joy, for God our Maker stands ready to forgive our sins and show mercy to us for the sake of Jesus Christ and His innocent sufferings and death on the cross for the sins of all.
Unto You, O Lord, I lift my soul for mercy and forgiveness in Christ Jesus, for the sake of His blood shed on the cross for the sins of the world. Amen.
