This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 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.
Have you ever felt like there is no hope for you? Like you have done so much wrong, made so many bad choices, that there was just no hope and no forgiveness? Everyone feels this way at one time or another. Sometimes multiple times through their lives. There is hope. There is mercy.
We fail daily. We falter, stumble, and daily find ourselves in a mess we can’t untangle. Sometimes we hit so far down in a pit, we think we can never crawl our way out. There is a way. We need to surrender it all. All of it. Everything of this world, all the temptations, all the struggles, everything that holds us back or trips us up. We need to die to self every day. Pray for forgiveness, turn away from whatever sin is keeping us tied down, repent, and ask God to take our hand and pull us up. Daily.
God is so faithful with all of his promises. His mercy is new every day. His compassion fails not. The Lord is always there, with His hand outstretched, waiting for us to reach out for Him to pull us out of the pit we are in. He will forgive, He will be merciful. We need to pray continually for Him to help us. He will. Praise God for our merciful savior who reaches out for us and pulls us out! Praise God for His faithfulness in His promises!
