“For His anger is but for a moment, and His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning” Psalm 30:5 (ESV)
How many times have you gotten to the end of your day and thought, “What a disaster! The next morning, the guilt of the previous days failures are still eating away at you. You spend the day trying to make up for it, while desperately trying not to repeat the same mistakes. Only to flop into the bed at the end of the day exhausted and still feeling like a failure.
Have you ever questioned yourself after a bad day saying “What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I get this right?” Well the truth is we’re sinners. It’s in our nature. And this sinful nature makes it impossible for us to ever get it completely right. Not until we get to heaven will we be perfect and without flaws. Thankfully, God doesn’t keep score or hold grudges against us for previous behavior.
Jesus paid the penalty for our sins on the cross long before we were even born. Because of this sacrifice, we can come before God every day and start fresh each and every day. No matter how much we mess up, and oh, how we do mess up, God will always forgive.
“God, forgive me and fill me with Your assurance that every day is a clean slate. Prepare my heart daily for what is to come so that I may honor the sacrifice that was made on my behalf.”
For His Glory

Aleah – God’s amazing grace lifts us up where our mistakes land when we bring them to Him. Praying He will move you past the regrets into the freedom of His grace and love.
