Fresh Mercy for a New Week

Happy Monday, beautiful friends in Christ!

As the sun rises on this new week, may your heart rise with it—full of hope, purpose, and praise. Mondays don’t have to be mundane when we begin them with the Lord. His mercies are new every morning, and His faithfulness never fails.

This week, choose to walk forward not in your own strength, but in the unshakable strength of the One who holds the whole world in His hands.

✝️ Verse of the Day“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 (KJV)

God didn’t bring you this far to leave you.He didn’t wake you up today without purpose.He has fresh mercy waiting for you at every turn.

Let His faithfulness be your fuel this week.

• Trust that He’s already gone before you.

Whatever this week holds, you and Jesus can handle it together.

Monday Prayer:Heavenly Father, thank You for a new week and fresh mercy. Thank You for the strength that rises when I rest in You. Help me to begin this week anchored in Your truth, aware of Your presence, and filled with holy confidence. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Today’s Challenge:Write down three things you’re grateful for this morning.Let gratitude shape the way you move through today.

Today is not just the start of another week. It’s another step in your calling. Another opportunity to live loved. Another reason to trust the faithfulness of God.
