Lamentations 3:22–23 Devotional

📖 “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” — Lamentations 3:22–23 (KJV)

💭 Reflection

Yesterday, maybe you yelled.

Maybe you cried.

Maybe you didn’t handle the meltdown, the mess, or the moment with as much grace as you meant to.

Maybe you went to bed thinking, I should’ve done better.

But here’s the truth straight from Lamentations:

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed… his compassions never fail. They are new every morning.”

New mercy. Every single morning.

Not when you’ve earned it.

Not after a perfect day.

Right now. Before the coffee. Before the apologies. Before the list of things to “do better.”

God isn’t looking at you with a checklist.

He’s offering you compassion that never fails.

Take a deep breath.

Today is a new mercy day.

🙏 Prayer

Thank You, Lord,

For fresh mercy in the middle of my mess.

For not giving up on me when I gave up on myself.

For compassion that covers my yesterday and gives me hope for today.

Let me live like I’m loved—even on the hard mornings.

Amen.

💛 Grace Note for Today

Your worst moment yesterday didn’t disqualify you from God’s love today.

He already knew.

And He already made a way for you to try again—with mercy in both hands.
