Finding encouragement in God's grace and mercy.
Loving God, I turn to You for encouragement today. When feelings of shame and guilt may try to overwhelm me, remind me of Your grace and mercy. Help me to focus on the progress I am making rather than the setbacks. Surround me with messages and encouragement from Your Word to strengthen my resolve. May I always remember that my identity is found in You alone. Amen. (Romans 8:1; 2 Corinthians 12:9)
