It in, I had quoted from Lamentations. As you may have read in the last day or so, we’ve been struggling with our teen which has caused our family much stress.

But I am happy to report that today is a new day; it truly is a new morning and the words from Lamentations have a new depth of meaning for me. No one ever said life, marriage, or raising children was for the faint of heart. We live in a fallen world and so we will have trouble this side of heaven. But God is bigger than any problem we may face. He loves us and cares about us and though He may not remove the problem His grace is sufficient for us at times to pull us through.

This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. The Lord’s lovingkindnesses, indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. –Lamentations 3:21-23.

His compassions are new for us this morning. Thank you, Lord. Great is Thy faithfulness, unto me.

May He Increase!

It’s often that it’s simply enough to know God’s character.

This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. The Lord’s lovingkindnesses, indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. –Lamentations 3:21-23.

Simple words, but so much truth packed in to them.

Is there a passage or verse that helps get you through?

May He Increase!
