Daily Devotional: New Every Morning

A new year often brings a mix of emotions, hope, anticipation, reflection, and sometimes regret. We look back at what we wish we had done differently and forward at what we hope will change. In the middle of all of that, God gives us a powerful reminder: His mercy is new every single morning.

Not just at the start of a new year.

Not only after we “get it right.”

But every morning.

God does not measure us by yesterday’s failures or last year’s disappointments. His compassion does not wear thin, and His grace does not run out. Each new day is an invitation to begin again, to walk forward covered in mercy and anchored in His faithfulness.

No matter what you are carrying into this year, unfinished goals, unanswered prayers, or weary faith, today is not defined by what was. God is already present in what is ahead.

As you begin this new year, pause and thank God for His fresh mercy over your life. Release the weight of what didn’t go as planned and receive the grace He is offering you today.

Starting over doesn’t mean erasing the past — it means trusting God to meet you with mercy right where you are.

Begin today with gratitude.

Before moving into your tasks, plans, or goals, take a moment to thank God for His new mercies. Let today be the foundation for the rest of your year.

Lord, thank You for Your mercy that meets me every morning. I release the past into Your hands and receive Your grace for today. Help me walk into this new year with trust, peace, and confidence in Your faithfulness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
