**Title: "A New Month, A Fresh Start"**

**Scripture (KJV):**

*"This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."*

— Psalm 118:24

**Reflection:**

Welcome to May—a brand-new month filled with fresh beginnings, renewed purpose, and the gentle reminder that each day is a gift from God.

No matter how the previous month ended, today you get to start again. God delights in giving us new mercies each morning and fresh opportunities to walk closer with Him. He doesn’t require perfection—just a willing heart and a desire to grow in grace.

Let this month be one of rejoicing, of choosing joy even in the little things. May is bursting with promise—flowers in bloom, days growing brighter, and hearts awakening to new hope. God is doing a new thing in your life, and He will be faithful to carry it through.

**Encouragement:**

Step into May with confidence. Celebrate every small victory. Trust that even in quiet seasons, God is working. Don’t look back in fear or forward in worry—just walk today with your hand in His. You are held, you are loved, and you are right where God can meet you.

**Prayer:**

Father, thank You for the gift of a new month. I give You May—every day, every plan, every hope. Help me to walk in Your joy, trust Your timing, and rest in Your faithfulness. Lead me into all You have prepared. In Jesus' name, Amen.
