What does the Bible say about prayer for mercy?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible encourages us to pray for mercy, as seen in Nehemiah's prayers where he asks God to remember him concerning His mercy.

In Nehemiah 13, we see multiple instances of Nehemiah praying for God's mercy, saying, 'Remember me, O My God' (Nehemiah 13:14, 22, 31). This reflects a deep recognition of one’s need for mercy rather than reward or recognition. Nehemiah's example aligns with other biblical figures, such as the publican in the temple who pleaded, 'Lord, be merciful to me, the sinner' (Luke 18:13). Scripture consistently teaches that we are to approach God humbly, acknowledging our shortcomings and relying entirely on His grace and mercy, as Paul articulated in Titus 3:5, 'Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us.'
