There are moments in life when all we can whisper is one word: mercy. When the weight of guilt presses hard, when life’s battles feel unrelenting, or when we simply don’t have the strength to pray lengthy prayers, our hearts cry out for the mercy of God. Mercy is not something we earn—it’s something God gives because of who He is, not who we are.
In those quiet, desperate moments, prayer becomes our refuge. Not the kind filled with elegant words or polished theology, but raw, honest pleas that reach heaven’s ears.
These prayer points are specifically for those who need a second chance or another chance after missing to utilise the previous chance. They are grounded in scriptures, the Word of God, and are very potent for Mercy.
