S4 E4: New Every Morning-Living in the Mercy of God

🎙️ New Every Morning: Finding Hope in God's Endless Mercy

Have you ever replayed yesterday's mistakes, wondering if you've failed God, your family, or even your patients? As nurses, we often carry the weight of difficult shifts long after we've gone home. As Christians, we can be tempted to believe that God is disappointed in us, waiting for us to "do better."

But Scripture tells a different story.

Inspired by Micah Tyler's powerful song **"New Today,"** Paula and Melinda dive into one of the most hope-filled promises in the Bible:

> *"Through the LORD'S mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness."* (Lamentations 3:22–23, NKJV)

Together, they explore what God's mercy truly means, the difference between conviction and condemnation, why the blood of Christ frees us from yesterday's failures, and how every sunrise is a reminder of God's unwavering faithfulness.

Whether you're coming off a difficult nursing shift, wrestling with regret, or simply needing encouragement, this episode reminds us that we don't have to carry yesterday into today.
