His mercies are new this morning, even if I'm not.

A Bible affirmation for dark days, rooted in Lamentations 3:22-23.

Because of the loving devotion of the LORD we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!

Lamentations 3:22-23 · BSB

Reflection

Lamentations was written in the ruins of Jerusalem, and most of the book is grief. Right in the middle comes this: His mercies never fail, they are new every morning. Lament and hope can share a page.

A prayer

Father, I'm still sad. Meet me with new mercy this morning anyway.
