Warriors, as we gather today, let us reflect on the fresh start each morning brings. Lamentations 3:22-23 reminds us of the relentless love and mercy of our Father, which He renews daily. These verses call us to acknowledge His faithfulness and trust in His care, guiding us to discover His plans for our day.

Each morning is a gift—an opportunity to experience God’s unfailing love and mercy anew. As we start our day, these verses encourage us to pause and recognize that no matter what yesterday held, today is a new beginning filled with new possibilities and new grace. This daily renewal is a testament to God's unwavering faithfulness and a foundation upon which we can build our trust and shape our actions.

Listen for Guidance: In your morning prayer, ask God to show you the way you should go for the day. Be still and listen for His direction, trusting that He will guide your steps as you move forward.
Respond with Obedience: As you discern God’s plan for your day, commit to following His lead. Respond with obedience to His promptings, trusting that His ways are perfect and His paths lead to life.
Conclusion: Every day, God extends an invitation for us to experience His steadfast love and fresh mercies. By starting our day focused on Him, acknowledging His mercies, and seeking His guidance, we open ourselves to the beautiful unfolding of His plans. This not only brings peace and direction to our day but also deepens our trust and relationship with Him.
