“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
His mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is Your faithfulness.
‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul,
‘therefore I will hope in Him.’”
— Lamentations 3:22–24 (ESV)
Devotional Reflection
Contentment often feels most elusive in the tension between what we have and what we hope for. Yet Jeremiah’s lament teaches us the rhythm of daily trust — that God’s mercy is not stored up in bulk; it’s given fresh for each morning.
When life feels uncertain or incomplete, we can rest in the truth that God’s presence is not delayed or diminished. His faithfulness arrives with the sunrise. We do not need tomorrow’s strength today, because grace meets us in the present moment.
“The Lord is my portion” — it’s a declaration of enoughness. To say those words is to choose trust over fear, gratitude over grasping. God Himself is our portion: not merely His gifts, but His presence, His steadfast love, His mercy renewed with each dawn.
Contentment, then, is not about having all we desire, but about knowing we will always have Him.
Inhale Truth, Exhale Trust
Breath Prayer:
Inhale: Your mercies are new this morning.
Exhale: You are enough for today.
How to Practice a Breath Prayer:
Breathe deeply as the day begins. With every inhale, recall God’s faithfulness. With every exhale, release tomorrow’s worries. Let your breath align your heart with the steady rhythm of His mercies.
Practical Application
Start your morning with gratitude. Before checking your phone or to-do list, whisper: “Your mercies are new this morning.”
Notice daily grace. Keep a small list throughout the day of God’s quiet provisions — moments of peace, kindness, or strength.
Close your day in hope. End the night by thanking God for the specific mercies you experienced, no matter how small.

Invitation to Train for Godliness, Run with Aim, and Finish the Race
Train your heart to wake with hope each morning. Run your day trusting the sufficiency of God’s presence. Finish the evening remembering: His mercies are enough for today, and His faithfulness will meet you again tomorrow.
