Just thinking of my troubles and my lonely wandering makes me miserable. That’s all I ever think about, and I am depressed. Then I remember something that fills me with hope. The Lord’s kindness never fails! If He had not been merciful, we would have been destroyed. The Lord can be trusted to show mercy each morning. Deep in my heart I say, “The Lord is all I need; I can depend on Him!”
I, by nature, am a whiner. I feel very justified in my whining sometimes. It’s so funny. No matter how I’m feeling or how I try to justify my whining, God will point me to a scripture passage that shows me that my attitude needs adjusting. I so love my Father! He cares enough about me to not let me wallow in my pity. It’s just not a good witness for those around me to behave in a whiny, ungrateful manner. Thank you, Father, for the mercy you show me each and every day!
