No matter how chaotic or discouraging the previous day was, the sun still rises each morning. It\u2019s as if God painted a daily reminder across the sky: You can start again.\u00a0During a difficult season, I struggled with feeling that I had blown too many chances. I remember sitting in silence one early morning, feeling heavy with regret. Then this passage from Lamentations came to mind: \u201cHis compassions never fail. They are new every morning.\u201d Not just once or twice, but every morning. That promise became a lifeline for me.\u00a0God doesn\u2019t recycle old grace. He gives fresh mercy for each day\u2019s needs. Even when we feel stuck, consumed, or too far gone, God shows up with compassion that never runs dry.\u00a0You may not be able to erase what happened yesterday, but you can begin again today. Let God\u2019s faithful love reset your heart. It\u2019s not too late to take a deep breath and step forward into the life story he\u2019s still writing for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lord, thank you for your daily mercy. When I feel like I\u2019ve messed up too much, remind me of your faithfulness. Help me to embrace each day as a fresh start. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>His compassions never fail.
