Daily Devotional

Ten quiet minutes: today's verse, the four Anchor Steps walked one at a time, and a prayer to close.

Today's verse

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning.

Lamentations 3:22-23 (ESV)

Reflection

Yesterday's failure did not use up today's mercy. What you receive this morning was not diminished by what you did last night.

Speak this to your soul

Today's mercy is new, and it is enough for today.

Now walk it through the Anchor Steps

What is actually happening today? Facts only — who, what, when.

What is it doing in you? Name the feeling honestly; He already knows it.

Write today's verse in your own hand, or the words of it that answer your reaction.

Because this is true, what will you do or refuse to do today?

Close in prayer

Pray this slowly, out loud if you can:

Father, You see the situation I have written down, and You are not troubled by it. You have heard my reaction, and You have not turned away. Thank You for Your Word today; let it be a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Give me grace to hold what I have resolved when this feeling returns. I trust You with today. In Jesus' name, amen.
