Prayer Champions mercy involves the synonyms of compassion, clemency, forgiveness, kindness, understanding, generosity, leniency, benevolence, forbearance, grace, and blessing. What often accompanies God’s mercy is God’s goodness. When we read the 23rd Psalm in the 6th verse, we hear,  6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. NKJV
