My favorite verses from today's devotional is Lamentations 3:22-23:
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
Though there may so many trials in life, God's grace is never ending. He is faithful through it all and it never runs out. This concept that God's goodness never runs out is so contrary to the world's ideas. His compassions always cover over any of life's challenges, brokenness, and sins. Just before these couple of verses, the author writes about his afflictions, how he was mocked and his difficult struggles, yet he remembers that it's because of God's great love that he is not consumed. It's such a good reminder that whatever we go through in life, the fact that we are God's beloved and that His love prevails should give us this confidence in life. We walk with His authority.
