Daily Devotional - The Finished Work - 2026 Month of Prayer - Day 10 - 9/10/26 - "God's Mercy Never Fails"

Author: Evangelist Crystal Poston

“God’s Mercy Never Fails”
Scripture: Lamentations 3:22-23
 
“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.”

Devotion:
The prophet Jeremiah wrote Lamentations while looking at the total destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonian army.  While the people were faced with total destruction, grief and ruin, this Scripture is a reminder that God’s love and mercy are ever flowing and they never fail. It was the knowledge of the Lord’s mercies that gave them hope.

We serve a faithful, compassionate, and loving God, and we too, as children of God, can count on brand new mercies from God each and every morning.  His mercy and faithfulness are greater than our failures, circumstances, and shortcomings. God will not abandon us. He gives us an opportunity to experience His grace every morning and a testimony to share with the world of how merciful He is. Think about it, we may go to sleep carrying disappointments or heavy burdens, but when we wake up, God’s mercies are new.

We are reminded in this Scripture that God remains faithful even when our circumstances change or we feel like the ground has collapsed beneath us. Whatever you are facing today, place it in His hands and trust Him. For His compassions fail not!

Prayer:
Father, thank You for Your great mercy and unfailing compassion. Thank You for every morning You have allowed us to see. Help us to live with grateful hearts, remain faithful to Your Word, and confidently trust Your promises. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
