Tired of Starting Over

“They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”

Lamentations 3:23

You've lost count of how many times you've tried again. You started over on the diet, the project, the relationship, your faith, the routine — and at some point it all fell apart again. Now even the thought of starting over one more time feels exhausting before you've even tried.

I never grow tired of giving you new chances. Every morning that dawns carries a fresh mercy, made especially for your day today, different from all the ones you've received before. You're not draining God's patience with every setback — my faithfulness is great precisely because it doesn't run out the way your strength sometimes does.

You don't need to start over with perfect energy, or with a guarantee that this time everything will work out. You just need to take today's step, leaning on my mercy that's already waiting for you this morning, ready and renewed.
