The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22–23(ESV)
God's mercies, the gifts He provides to those of His children who choose to live in relationship with Him, are new each day. They regenerate. They are never used up or run out. And, taken in total, these gifts make up the Good News of God's Kingdom. Good News that is far richer and more applicable to daily life than merely avoiding eternal damnation.
While all of these gifts are shared abundantly each day, some may feel more relevant to our individual daily circumstances. Take a look at the following list. Learn what His daily mercies are. Give thanks each day for those that seem particular to your life, where you are.
God Forgives and Redeems
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Psalm 103:2–5(ESV)

Jeremiah 32:17(ESV)
When We Are Weak, He Is Strong
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9–10(ESV)

He Encourages Us To Choose Joy
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.
1 Peter 4:12–13(ESV)
He Takes Us Into His Care
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
