In the first of his Ninety-Five Theses, Martin Luther wrote that the entire Christian life is to be one of repentance. Our fickle hearts, lusts, impatience in times of waiting, lack of humility, resistance to reconciliation, fear—God wants us to talk to Him often about our deepest needs! How do we respond to the Bible’s calls to confess our struggles with sin?
Streams of Mercy, modeled after the Puritan devotional classic The Valley of Vision, works through a wealth of Scripture to help us shape our prayers around God’s Word and the reality of His provision through His Son and the Holy Spirit. This treasure trove of words indexes over eighty confessional, Trinitarian prayers by topic and supports them with suggested hymns, culminating in the ultimate celebration: assurance of new life in Christ!
Rooted in Scripture, the rich, evocative language of Streams of Mercy directs prayer time toward God’s grace. The collection is perfectly suited for use in times of both corporate confession and personal prayer.
Wonder afresh at God’s authoritative declaration that every sin of His people is forgiven in Jesus Christ.
