Today gets new mercy, no matter how last night went.

A Bible affirmation for postpartum, 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

Night feedings blur the days together. But God's mercies are new every morning, even the mornings that started at four. Yesterday's exhaustion isn't a verdict on your mothering.

A prayer

Lord, give me today's mercy. Help me let go of last night and receive grace for this day.
