Oh God, Show Me Mercy: Scripture-Based Prayers for Help, Healing, Forgiveness, and Hope

When you need mercy, where do you turn?

Oh God, Show Me Mercy is a Scripture-based Christian prayer book for the moments when you need words for what you are carrying.

Through prayers rooted in specific passages of the Bible, Liora Ellington helps readers come honestly before God with guilt and shame, illness, uncertainty, concern for loved ones, practical needs, difficult decisions, and prayers that seem to have gone unanswered.

Rather than promising guaranteed outcomes, these prayers invite readers to approach the God who is rich in mercy with honesty, trust, and hope.

Inside are prayers for remembering God's character when trust is difficult; seeking forgiveness and freedom from shame; asking for help, healing, provision, direction, and protection; praying for children and loved ones you cannot rescue; walking through waiting and unanswered prayer; and learning to receive and extend mercy.

For Christians walking through difficult seasons, or anyone wanting to deepen a prayer life shaped by Scripture, Oh God, Show Me Mercy offers a biblical place to begin when your own words are hard to find.
