HOLY IN SPIRIT

Scripture:
Lamentations 3:22–24 - “Because of the Lord’s faithful love we do not perish, for His mercies never end. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness! I say, ‘The Lord is my portion, therefore I will put my hope in Him.’”

Matthew 6:34 - “Therefore don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Slow Read (Sit With the Text)

Read Lamentations 3:22–24 slowly, twice.

  • First reading: Notice what God provides.

  • Second reading: Notice when He provides it.

Now pause for 60–90 seconds in silence and let this phrase settle: “They are new every morning.”

 

Heart Questions

  • Where am I still living as if yesterday defines today?

  • What failure, regret, or disappointment am I carrying that God has not asked me to carry?

  • Do I actually believe God’s mercy is new today, or only in theory?

Be honest. God already knows the answers.

 

Spiritual Insight
Jeremiah wrote these words in the middle of devastation, not after it ended. God’s mercy didn’t arrive once circumstances improved—it met him inside the ruin.

New mercy doesn’t mean no consequences, no grief, no responsibility. It means God meets you before you fix anything.

Prayer

Faithful God, I confess that I often wake up already defeated— by what I didn’t do, what I failed at, or what still hurts. Today, I choose to stop demanding yesterday’s payment. I receive what You freely give: mercy. Teach me to live this day with You, not replaying what’s behind me and not fearing what’s ahead of me. You are my portion today. That is enough.

Amen.

WHOLE IN MIND

Release Yesterday

Take 2 minutes and answer this quietly or in writing:
“What from yesterday am I still punishing myself for?”

Now intentionally name this truth:

“God’s mercy for me today is not reduced by yesterday.”

The Dust of the Rabbi — Daily Walk

Take a 10–15 minute walk.

As you walk:

  • Inhale and pray: “Your mercies are new.”

  • Exhale and pray: “I receive them today.”

Let your breathing slow your thoughts.

 

Closing Thought:

Today isn’t about catching up. It’s about starting where God already is—with mercy in hand.
