Scripture Reading
Lamentations 3:22-23
Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Reflection
Lamentations is a book of grief, yet from its depths rises one of Scripture's most radiant affirmations of God's faithfulness. Even when grief surrounds us, the mercy of God arrives fresh each morning, untouched by the night's sorrows. Whatever weariness or sorrow you carry today, bring it before the One whose compassions never fail. Morning has broken, and with it — new mercy.
Prayer for Today
Faithful Father, thank you that you are perfectly faithful; you never forget, never fail and never take back a promise. You have promised that you will respond to the prayer of the needy. Show compassion to me in my time of need Lord and comfort my heart as I mourn my loved one. Let me be filled with your Holy Spirit. You are the God of hope. Fill me with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit I may abound in hope. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Amen.
