What should we do if we feel unworthy of God's mercy?
Answered in 1 source
Feeling unworthy of God's mercy should lead us to cry out to Him for help, acknowledging our need and resting in His grace.
Many believers may struggle with feelings of unworthiness when approaching God. However, acknowledging our unworthiness is the first step towards receiving His mercy. In Matthew 15:22-27, the Canaanite woman exemplifies this by coming to Jesus in humility, recognizing her position as ‘a dog’ and pleading for even the crumbs of mercy. This humility reflects a proper understanding of our condition as sinners in need of grace. The beauty of the Gospel is that God delights in showing mercy; He said, 'He that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out' (John 6:37). Therefore, we should bring our unworthiness before Him, trusting that His grace is sufficient and His mercy is abundant.
