A Prayer for a Contemporary New Begin
By Megan Evans

“The trustworthy love of the Lord by no means ends!
His mercies by no means stop.
Nice is his faithfulness;
his mercies start afresh every morning.” – Lamentations 3:22-23 (NLT)

My least favourite chore is dusting, but unusually I discover it to be probably the most rewarding duties of housekeeping. There may be nothing like watching a path of shine emerge as my cleansing rag cuts by layers of mud. The grime is wiped away and my cabinets and counter tops can breathe as soon as once more, and so can I. Like our properties, our hearts can construct up layers of neglect as nicely. Once we ignore our coronary heart, our spirit begins to really feel weary and burdened. Are you eager for renewal? Is there an space of your life that wants a breath of contemporary air? A contemporary new begin? Reward be to God! Rather than our personal labor and striving, we’d like solely to bow our hearts in the present day.

Every day duties, jobs, and roles can frequently go away us feeling depleted and run down. As well as, our cussed human hearts usually deter us from coping with sin, battle, and emotion. Apart from that, we’re finite beings and easily run out of our personal meager provide of goodness. Left to ourselves, we’re going to fall brief each single time.

It’s in these moments that we’d like a contemporary new begin, and this renewal is present in Christ alone. As mud clings to material, we too, can maintain tightly to God’s guarantees. Lord, assist me to belief You each day.

God doesn’t surrender on us, and His mercies start afresh every morning. What does this imply? It signifies that God’s love is steadfast and gracious. It signifies that once we repent, He all the time forgives (1 John 1:9). Once we pray, He hears and solutions us in keeping with His good will (1 John 5:14). Once we cry out, He guarantees to be our refuge and power (Psalm 46:1) and His peace comforts us in our troubles (2 Corinthians 1:3).

God’s mercies by no means stop, and neither does His love. Unceasing love may be exhausting to know in a world the place people break guarantees and break hearts. In distinction, God’s love is an ideal trustworthy love that’s unmovable and never-ending. We will depend on God to forgive us, handle us, and assist us, not as a result of we deserve it, however as a result of He loves us. We expertise mercy not due to who we’re, however due to who God is! Thanks, Lord!

Lamentations is considered written by Jeremiah as he mirrored upon the Babylonian exile. The Israelites blew it massive time again and again, but God nonetheless cherished them and stored His promise of salvation and redemption. Again and again God gave them a contemporary new begin. They didn’t deserve it, and neither can we. But daily, hour, and second we can also expertise God’s faithfulness. Don’t let weariness construct up; ask God to fill you with contemporary new life proper then and there. Assist me, Lord!

Are you known as to reply to a tough shopper in the present day? Ask God for His kindness. As a caretaker, are you struggling to satisfy limitless wants? Ask God for His compassion. Are you preventing an sickness? Ask God for His power. The record goes on and on. We want the infinite measure of God’s would possibly and energy at work in us each single day, and He guarantees to present this in abundance.

Let’s Pray:

Father God, thanks to your love and mercy. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and assist me stroll as Your Son Jesus did whereas I’m right here on this earth. I need to present love and kindness.

Forgive me and lead me right into a contemporary new begin in the present day. You alone know the wants of my coronary heart and the place I’m struggling. Your mercies are steadfast, and so I give up each harm, battle, and wrestle in the present day.

Cleanse and renew my coronary heart in the present day. Second by second, fill me with contemporary new power to behave and reply in methods which are pleasing to You. Equip me to go forth and perform the duties You set earlier than me with Your grace and Your power. In Jesus’ Title, Amen.
