Chronic Hope- Rebooted

²² The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,^*
his mercies never come to an end;
²³ they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
²⁴ ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul,
‘therefore I will hope in him.’   Lamentations 3:22-24

Some days, we just need to reboot.  It's a great computer term that means to start up again.  Right now it is time for this blog to reboot. Over the past months I've not been blogging much due to some challenges in life and some challenges I've been facing in my own attitude.  I'll reflect upon these things in the days and months ahead.  Part of what took me so long to get back to blogging is that I didn't really know how to explain why I was gone, or where to start again.

A fresh start is sometimes important. It doesn't mean that what has come before is gone and forgotten, it just means that we choose a new place as our orienting point. As if we were moving to a new place to get a better view of the terrain.

God's mercy is fresh every morning. No matter what we faced yesterday, today is a reboot.  The circumstances that we face will still be there, but it is an opportunity to face them with a fresh mind and heart.
May today be a fresh new morning for all of us.
peace,
Andrea

Dear Lord, may your mercy and grace pour over us once again today. Renew us, forgive us, lead us and help us to start this day where you want us to be.  Amen.
