Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness. ~ Lamentations 3:22-23, NKJV
Whom have I in heaven but You?
I desire You more than anything on earth.
My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,
but God remains the strength of my heart;
He is mine forever. ~ Psalm 73:25-26, NLT
Because of God’s tender mercy,
the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us,
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
and to guide us to the path of peace. ~ Luke 1:78-79, NLT
Your Love Reminds Me that Your Mercy is New Every Morning
Lord, as sure as the sunrise is Your faithfulness to me. Open the eyes of my heart to see and remember that I am Your child. Your mercy is new every morning — Your love will never fail me.
Strengthen me to recognize Your hand in everything that concerns me. Remind me to look for You, for when I seek You with all of my heart, I will find You. When I look for You in the difficult places, I will find You there with me.
For You are Jehovah-Shammah — the Lord is There. You pursue me with Your love. Your goodness follows hard after me.
As does Your mercy.
Your lovingkindness is greater than life. The glorious light of Your presence illuminates my darkness and I find peace … I find reassurance because I know Your mercy is new every morning. I have experienced it. I know Your promises are true.
You are my defender, the keeper of my soul. You, Lord, are a shield about me — You surround me with songs of deliverance and deliver me from all my difficult places. How wonderful it is to depend on You! I have no need to fear an uncertain future because I am not alone. You are with me, and when I am too weary to keep up, You carry me as a father carries his son in the wilderness.
How Wonderful it is to Depend on You, Lord
Steady my heart, Lord. Open the eyes of my heart to see You drawing near in my overwhelm. I praise You for Your goodness to me, I thank You for Your mercy and grace that sustains me.
In the Name of Jesus, I pray,
Amen — let it be so
