“It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”Lamentations 3:22-23

“Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him.”Psalm 42:11
Yet. Praise you cannot feel today, promised to a day you have not reached.

A word from Pastor Stan
If you are at the end of yourself, you are in a scriptural place. Most of the Bible was written by people there. Do not try to feel hopeful; that is backwards. Do the small faithful thing: read a few verses, tell God the truth, and let tomorrow's mercy arrive tomorrow. Mercy is new every morning, which means you do not need today's supply to cover the rest of your life.
Pray this, as it is
God of hope, I am running low. I am not asking to feel strong. I am asking You to hold me one more day and to meet me with new mercy in the morning. Amen.
