Lamentations 3:22-23

The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.

The book of Lamentations is a collection of poems that express deep sorrow over the ruin and devastation of Jerusalem after Babylon’s army destroyed the city. The writer, who was likely the prophet Jeremiah, lamented over its loss, yet also expressed hope for its future. These verses offer encouragement for those who trust in the Lord, no matter how deep their sorrow or how great their adversity. The faithful love of the Lord never ends! . . . His mercies begin afresh each morning. Hold on to these verses during hard times. Their beautiful words offer a reason to wake up each day and to keep expecting good things for the future.
