We’ve got anywhere between 12k–60k thoughts a day, and around 80% are negative thoughts.* Thoughts that aren’t focused on God, His Word, or His promises.

Even after setting a foundation of Bible study, prayer, and Scripture memorization, you might think:

  • Is God really taking care of this situation?
  • Nothing is going right—I just want some solid ground…
  • Does God even notice I’m trying my best to live for Him?
  • No one understands how hurt I feel right now.

A small reminder can help you refocus on God and His Words and lessen the negative thoughts during your day.

 

Introducing ... The Psalms Project

These 5”x5” squares each represent 1 chapter from the book of Psalms: 150 chapters, 150 pieces. The paintings also represent our lives and God’s presence in them. We’ve got messy, fluid, “abstract,” coming-and-going days … with an amazing and “piercing through the darkness” God in the midst of them.

Inspired by Psalm 118:8 (NASB), "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man," this painting will not only remind you of the truth found in God's Word but also create an opportunity for a Christ-centered conversation in your home. 

Gurantee

We’re committed to designing God-honoring products, helping you grow in the Scriptures, and creating opportunities for you to share His work in your life with others. If your purchase doesn’t exceed those three promises, then we’re going to work with you to make sure it does.

You asked—I answered!

Is this an original painting or a print?

This is an original piece—nothing like this will ever be painted or sold again. Once it's purchased, it's gone and living in a new home forever, influencing and encouraging those that see it.

Is this a card?

Great question! This is a flat art painting, not a folded card. It’s frame-ready and designed to be displayed on walls, shelves, or desks—not tucked inside an envelope (though hey, it'd make a lovely gift to accompany a card!).

What sizes are available?

The Psalms Project™ paintings are sized at ~5"x5". Some may be a smidge larger, but the main content is the 5"x5" size.

What kind of paper is this painted on?

The Psalms Project™ paintings are painted on either Arches or Strathmore papers.

How long will it take to arrive?

Current processing time is 3–4 business days, with an additional 2-7 business days for delivery. I do our best to ensure your package arrives safely and as quickly as possible!

You'll ❤️ your art, but don't take my word for it...

What happens next...

  • Pick your favorite print size + hit “Add to Cart”

  • Get that “your order has shipped” email you’ll obsessively track

  • Tear open the package and admire your gift-worthy find

Your purchase helps *more* than just my small business...

  • Money Matters

    We "live like no else, so latter, we can live and give like no one else." With open hands, we do what we can to live generously with the money God has given to Mercy Creates.

    Each month, we give a set amount (not dependent on sales) to organizations, and you can read more about them below.

  • Wycliffe Bible Translators

    Wycliffe Bible Translators believe that the Bible is God’s Word to us — something that everyone should be able to understand for themselves. Bible translation is critical for real transformation: When people encounter Jesus through Scripture in their own language, lives often change in amazing ways!

    We give to the “Urgent Needs” which will “enables us [WBT] to respond to new opportunities quickly and ensure that critical projects receive the financial resources they need.”

  • Voice of the Martyrs

    Despite growing efforts within hostile areas and restricted nations to suppress and eradicate believers’ witness for Christ—imprisoning and torturing pastors, destroying church buildings, and banning and burning Bibles—our brothers and sisters have remained faithful to Christ at great personal cost.

    However, a Bible in these countries can be illegal or extremely difficult to acquire. There is a significant need for God’s Word in these places, where the Bible is treasured but not easily obtained. Despite significant risk, Christians in these countries are asking for God’s Word.

Mercy Creates

Designing artwork that creates opportunities for Christ-centered conversations in your home

It's nice to meet you! 👋🏼

I’m Rachel, and my husband and I have spent 5 years of missions work in an urban apartment complex. Our 1,100-square-foot apartment was important to us… and the 300+ residents we served. During those years, we intentionally used every asset we had to share the Gospel, and now, I’m encouraging women to do the same with their home decor.

As a modern watercolor artist and graphic designer, I thrive in creating pieces that help women have Christ-centered conversations.

Psalm 23:2

I am obsessed with this artwork. It truly is beautiful. This verse in particular means a lot to me, the colors just make it that much better. Thank you for using your gifts to bless others!

Elise

Very pretty, on quality paper, good value, and packaged well for shipping. I’m very happy with my purchase.

Patricia

Very nice gift. Perfect for my home but exactly what I wanted for a thank you gift.

Dani

I LOVE it!!! This in particular has special meaning for me as God's been taking me out of the ashes this past season(s) and bringing me into new life. This artwork is even more stunning in person. The photos do not do it justice.. Thank you Mercy Creates for this beautiful piece. And thank You Daddy God for blessing her hands to make it. I can't wait to buy (or order) some of the Psalms project pieces in the future!

Court

Purchased “He leads me…” for my goddaughter’s baptism. I love it! Shop was so helpful and courteous. I will likely buy several pieces for my new home. Thank you!
