I’ve been feeling beaten down of late.  Each day with its unique and some not-so-unique challenges make me grow weary.  There were days where I went to bed feeling dejected and not looking forward to another day of challenges.  Let’s face it, taking care of five little ones, homeschooling, and managing a household are just hard.

Rather than wallowing in depression, I’m reminded of God’s mercies being made new for each day:

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

(Lamentations 3:22-23)

God is faithful and even though we mess up, his mercies are extended for another day to make amends.  Whether you’re feeling beaten down by your work, school, home life, or whatever, God’s mercies are renewed day by day.  This is the truth we can trust in.
