Monday Minute #33 Starting Over

Some mornings, it’s easy to believe God’s mercy is waiting for us. But other mornings? The ones after we’ve lost our patience, cried ourselves to sleep, worried more than we prayed, made the same mistake again, or felt like we should be further along by now? Lamentations 3:22–23 reminds us that God’s mercies are new every morning. Not just after a perfect week. Not just after a strong spiritual stretch. Not just when we’ve been patient, peaceful, productive, and put-together. Sometimes we think growth should look impressive — like a breakthrough, a big moment, a visible change everyone can see. But sometimes growth is quieter than that. Sometimes growth is getting back up. Trying again. Choosing to come back to God one more time, even when yesterday felt messy. That means God’s compassion is not reserved for the days we feel worthy of it. His mercy meets us again and again — before we fix ourselves, before we prove anything, before we have all the answers. In this Monday Minute, we’re talking about the steady love of a God whose mercies are new every single morning — including this one. Be sure to come back Friday for a full episode, because when we’re together, it’ll always be fun!
