I certainly didn&#8217;t want to follow Him or be accountable for the wrongdoing and sin in my life. I was in a downward spiral toward destruction. In this Psalm, it says God will destroy the wicked, but I am so thankful for God&#8217;s mercy. I think of Romans 5:8 where it says that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.<br \/>\n<br \/>Now that I have the benefit of God&#8217;s mercy and grace, I have a <em>desire<\/em> to love and serve the Lord. I have the opportunity to cry out to Him for my needs and praise him for answered prayer.<br \/>\n<br \/>Dear Lord, If I am numbered among the wicked, as the Psalmist says, show me your mercy and grace in Christ Jesus. Rescue me and give me the desire to follow you that I may come to praise you with my whole heart.
