Held by Mercy

Scripture  

Psalm 94:18–19 (NRSV)  

When I thought, “My foot is slipping,”  

your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up.  

When the cares of my heart are many,  

your consolations cheer my soul.

Refrain  

Mercy is holding me now.

Quote 

Henri Nouwen, from The Return of the Prodigal Son

“You have to trust that the place where you are being held,  

even when it feels broken or unclear,  

is exactly where God’s love is reaching you.  

Not because you have it all together,  

but because His love is bigger than your fear,  

your wounds, and even your resistance.  

To be held by God  

is to allow grace to do what striving never could.”
