New Mercies, New Beginnings

Scripture: “The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” — Lamentations 3:22–23

Reflection:
The calendar turns, and with it God’s mercies greet us again. We don’t start the year as blank slates—but as beloved people with fresh grace. In chaplaincy, we see yesterday’s burdens carried into today. This text invites us to acknowledge those burdens while receiving mercy that is new enough for today’s needs. Newness isn’t erasing the past; it is God’s faithful presence redeeming it.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for mercies that meet us every morning. Renew our minds and steady our hearts. Let Your faithfulness set our pace this year. Amen.

Practice:
List three “new mercies” you notice today—in your body, your work, your relationships. Speak one of them aloud as a blessing over your day.

Peace on Earth

Scripture: Luke 2:14
"Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests."

Reflection:
The birth of Jesus was announced with a message of peace. Not the kind the world gives, but a deep, abiding peace that comes from being reconciled with God. In the chaos of the season, we are invited to pause and receive the peace that only Christ can give—a peace that calms our hearts and restores our souls.

Prayer:
Prince of Peace, quiet my heart and fill me with Your presence. Let Your peace rule in my life and overflow to those around me. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
