God of new mercies, I thank You that each morning brings a fresh start. Yesterday is behind me, with its mistakes and missed opportunities, and today stretches out before me full of possibility. Help me to leave behind regret and to step forward with hope. I know I will stumble again—I'm human, and I'm learning—but I trust that Your grace is bigger than my failures. Today, help me to be kind to myself and to others. Help me to listen more than I speak, to notice more than I overlook. When I feel overwhelmed, remind me to take one step at a time. When I feel alone, remind me that You are near. Thank You for not giving up on me, even when I give up on myself. I place this day in Your hands, trusting that You will guide me through it.

Gracious God, as I look back on this day, I see Your hand at work in ways I didn't notice in the moment. You were there in the conversation that lifted my spirits, in the problem that somehow resolved itself, in the patience I found when I thought I had none left. Thank You for being present in the ordinary moments, not just the extraordinary ones. Tonight, I bring You my reflections—the things I learned, the ways I grew, the places where I still have work to do. Help me to be honest with myself about where I fell short, and help me to be gentle with myself as I try to do better. Forgive me for the ways I missed opportunities to love well. And thank You for not giving up on me. As I rest tonight, prepare my heart for tomorrow. I trust You with what's ahead.

God of justice and mercy, I want my life to matter. I want to make a difference in the world, but sometimes I feel so small and insignificant. What can I possibly do in the face of so much need, so much pain, so much injustice? Remind me that I don't have to change the whole world. I just have to be faithful in the small corner of it where You've placed me. Help me to notice the needs right in front of me—the person who needs encouragement, the cause that needs support, the injustice that needs a voice. Give me courage to act, even when my actions feel small. And help me to trust that You can multiply my small efforts into something far greater than I can imagine. Thank You for inviting me to be part of Your work of healing and restoration.
