The way Hashem is written is midas harachamim and read as midas hadin. Midas harachamim emanates from midas hadin as the world was originally created with midas hadin by realizing that Hashem is Master of the whole world and He is the only One who can have mercy on us then we can ask to have mercy on us. If we start with midas harachamim then we might think we can do anything as a father will forgive us. Therefore the two are combined into one. This is reflected in Amen having the gematria, 91 which is the combination of the two. The word sukkah also reflects this as the midas harachamim in the middle (26) breaks up the midas hadin around it (65) and it is hidden in the midas hadin.
