21 Days of Praise: Day 17 - New Mercies Every Morning

Welcome to Day 17 of our #21DaysofPraise series! Today, we focus on the boundless mercy of God. His mercies are new every morning, and His forgiveness is always available to us. No matter how many times we fall short, His compassion never fails.

Praise for His Mercy & Forgiveness 

Sometimes, I can accept that God is merciful, but I think He might be a little tired of extending that forgiveness to me. I worry that as I come to him with a guilty heart, He thinks, “Again??” God will forgive me, but I feel so inadequate that I think He must not like me very much.

This is where mercy comes in. Mercy is a big topic to cover, but it’s key to understanding God’s desire to set us free from guilt and have a close relationship with us.

Verse of the Day: Lamentations 3:22-23

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” — (NIV)

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” — (TPT)

Reflecting on my journey, there have been countless times when I have felt the weight of my mistakes and shortcomings. In those moments, I have turned to God, seeking His mercy and forgiveness. Each time, He has met me with open arms, offering grace and a new beginning. 

One specific instance that stands out was when I was struggling with feelings of guilt and shame over lust. Blessedly, God is greater than any accusation in our heads. In His rich mercy, He loves to give out the free gift of forgiveness and freedom from guilt.

Song:

A song for today is "Great Is Your Mercy" by Donnie McClurkin. This song is a heartfelt expression of gratitude and praise for God's unending mercy and kindness.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your mercy that is new every morning. Your compassion and forgiveness are endless, and Your faithfulness is great. I praise You for the countless times You have shown me mercy and offered me a fresh start. Help us to extend that same mercy to others and to live in the freedom of Your forgiveness. In Jesus' name, Amen.
