“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” — Lamentations 3:22-23
The Weekly Word is: "Steadfast"
Mondays often feel like a mountain we have to climb. We look at the week ahead—the meetings, the chores, the "to-do" lists—and we feel like we have to provide all the energy ourselves.
But look at the verse above. The word isn't "Your energy is new every morning" or "Your productivity is great." It says His mercies are new.
You don't have to carry the weight of last week’s mistakes into this week. You don't even have to carry the weight of this week's expectations yet. Today is a fresh slate provided by a God who isn't tired, even if you are.
Take a deep breath. Read this slowly:
"Father, thank You for a new Monday. I surrender my 'to-do' list to You. Before I try to be productive, help me to simply be present with You. When the week gets loud, remind me of Your steadfast love. Give me the strength for just today, and the grace to handle whatever comes my way. Amen."
This week, whenever you feel overwhelmed stop and whisper the word: "Steadfast." Remind yourself that while your circumstances change, His presence remains the same.
