Why should we plead for God's mercy?

Answered in 1 source

We plead for God's mercy because our sins are great, and only His grace can pardon them.

Pleading for God's mercy is essential because it recognizes the gravity of our sin and our inability to make ourselves righteous. In Psalm 25:11, David acknowledges his great iniquity and appeals to God's character of mercy. This act of pleading reflects a heart that understands the necessity of divine grace. It is only through God's mercy that we can hope for pardon and restoration, as seen in the broader narrative of Scripture where God extends grace to the humble and repentant. Our great need for mercy leads us to the reality that Christ came to save sinners, embracing those who recognize their helplessness.
