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)
The
final day of the year invites reflection, whether we want it to or not. Some
years are easy to celebrate as they close. Others are heavy to look back
on—filled with loss, change, unanswered prayers, or moments we wish we could
rewrite.
Yet here we stand.
Not because the year was gentle, but because God was faithful.
This verse reminds us that it is only by the Lord’s great love that we are not consumed. Not consumed by grief. Not consumed by fear. Not consumed by everything that tried to undo us along the way. His compassion carried us through days we didn’t think we could survive—and it will carry us forward into days we cannot yet see.
What a gift to know that when the calendar turns, God does not grow weary or distant. His mercy does not expire at midnight. Tomorrow’s grace is already prepared, waiting for us with the sunrise.
As this year comes to a close, we don’t need to have it all figured out. We simply need to remember this: the same faithful God who brought us here will walk with us forward.
Let our prayer today thank Him for carrying us through this year. Thank Him for His mercy that met us each morning and His love that held us together when we felt we were at our weakest. As we step into a new year, we should pray that He will help us trust Him with what lies ahead.
