Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV)
Lord Jesus, I may not have all my prayers answered like I desire. Like all my health issues fixed. Or every friendship and family problem solved. Or even those new spring clothes I had hoped for. But what my soul desperately needed—in fact, my whole being cries out for—has been provided. Your tender mercies are new every morning. Indeed, Your compassions fail not. Great is Your love and faithfulness.
I cannot fathom it, but I can certainly praise you for it!
Questions for Pondering…
Why doesn’t the Lord give me all that I ask for?
Do I praise the Lord for His care and compassion?
