About this episode

Today’s Bible Verse: “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

Lamentations 3:22–23 reminds us that God’s mercy meets us fresh each day. Even in seasons marked by grief, uncertainty, or exhaustion, God’s love remains steady and sustaining. His compassion doesn’t run out—and it doesn’t depend on our performance.
