What does the Bible say about coming to God for mercy?

In 2 Samuel 22:26-28, the Lord reveals that the manner in which we approach Him determines how He meets us. If we come seeking justice, we will find it, which often leads to condemnation. However, if we approach Him with a desire for mercy, we will encounter His grace and forgiveness. Jesus reiterated this in Matthew 9:12-13 when He stated that He came to call sinners, not the righteous. This indicates that a humble, contrite heart seeking mercy will be met by a God who delights in showing mercy.
