How can we come to God seeking mercy?

Answered in 1 source

We come to God seeking mercy by recognizing our desperate need, approaching Him in humility, and submitting in faith to His will.

To seek mercy from God effectively, one must first acknowledge their desperate need, just like the leper did when he approached Jesus. This requires an understanding that we are incurable without Christ's intervention. Secondly, we must come in humble submission, recognizing that our righteousness is as filthy rags in comparison to His holiness. Finally, approaching God in faith means believing that He is able and willing to cleanse and forgive us, as the leper did when he asked, 'Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.' By embodying these elements of need, humility, and faith, we position ourselves optimally to receive the mercy God graciously offers.
