We tend to spend a lot of our energy worrying about tomorrow.
Will there be enough money? What will our health be like? Will our children follow the Lord? What will we do when the car breaks down? Will I have a job next week/month/year? Will we lose our loved ones prematurely? What will I do if our healthcare changes? What will my marriage be like when the children are gone? When will we get to enjoy retirement?
The list of worries could carry endlessly on.
Smack dab in the middle of Lamentations we are reassured that there is no need to fuss and fret about tomorrow's troubles. We will be given fresh mercy for each new day. We don't need strength enough for today and tomorrow...we simply need our fresh dose of the Lord's mercy for today, knowing that tomorrow will have its own measure of unseen mercy sufficient enough for the day.

"But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: 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 3:21-23
