Have you ever just gotten tired of the normal routine of life? Get up, hit the alarm clock, fall back asleep, finally get up, eat breakfast, go to school, come home and do more homework? I mean it just gets old. We all love new things, right? I mean think about Christmas. Who doesn't like getting new things, no one. We all love the adventure of opening up a box and finding out what is inside. Well if your just feeling kind of tired of the normal, check out this verse
Lamentations 3:22-24 (New Living Translation)
22 The faithful love of the Lord never ends![a]
His mercies never cease.
23 Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance;
therefore, I will hope in him!”
New every morning. What do you think about that? No longer should we wake up and be "today is just another day". Every day is full of God's blessings and is mercies are new every morning.
SO WHAT?
If your feeling like today is just one of those days. Stop right now and close your eyes and imagine God pouring out His mercies on you. He is in heaven doing just that right now. Believe and spend the rest of your day today, living like it.

Your Not Strong Enough
What are some things in your life that are reliable? Alarm clocks, sunrises,
mom telling you to eat your vegatables. I remember my mom, if I ever got a cut on my finger or a scratch on my knee, she would be right there with band-aids to fix me up. She was amazing. I always knew she would be there for me. I relied on her to help me and I never doubted that she would be there. Now that I’m older I understand that my mom can’t do everything for me. She isn’t always with me, but God is. I’ve realized that now that I’m older I need to look first to God and rely on Him more than anyone else. We can’t even rely on ourselves. God is the only person we should be looking too.
2 Corinthians 1:9 says
“Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.”
SO WHAT?
Today realize that God is your strength. Remember that you can rely on Him to help you in your time of struggle. If you are going through any kind of difficulties, or if you just need a helping hand throughout your average day... Look to God! He is waiting to be your help. RELY on Him.

Break In
We are all created for a purpose! Give God a few minutes today to speak his purpose into your life! Take 5 minutes and listen to worship music and clear out all of the distractions from your week; things you did wrong, homework, everything.
(If you don’t have any worship music get on YouTube and type in desperation band)
Pray Jeremiah 29: 11 -13
“For I know the plans I have for you, “declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
Now take another 5 minutes and ask God to tell you his plan for your life, clear your thoughts and just let him speak. He might give you a picture in your head, a word, a book, a bible verse, etc. If you don’t get anything don’t be discouraged. Try getting up and walking around or clearing your brain of everything you are thinking about.
Examples: I want you to speak to children, Africa, Doctor, Pastor, Prophesy, I love when you work with your grandma, I have sent you to change nations.
Write in your journal and on the comment page what you heard and think over it and pray about it. Let someone know what you heard.
How do you think you do what God has called you to do? Write 3 things you can do this week to start walking in God’s plan for your life.
