Today's promise
Your promise for today:
It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23 (KJV)
Read it twice, once in your head and once out loud. Then ask yourself one question: where do I need this today? Keep that answer in mind as you go.
Why a fixed list of 31
Many sites promise a fresh Bible verse for today. This page is honest about how it works.
A simple web page like this one cannot know what kind of day you are having. It only knows the date on your phone or computer. So instead of pretending to pick a verse just for you, it shows the promise set for today's date. The 31 promises below never change. On the 1st of every month you see Day 1, on the 2nd you see Day 2, and so on. If your browser blocks scripts, you will see Lamentations 3:22 to 23 at the top instead, and the whole list is still here to read.
We think that is a feature. Next month on the same date, you meet the same promise again. Read this page every day for a year and you will have gone through most of these verses twelve times. That is how promises move from the page into your memory.
How these 31 were chosen
Each one is a promise: something God said He would do, or something He said is true of Him that you can lean on. Each one is short enough to read before you leave the house.
They come from all over the Bible, from Genesis in the Old Testament to 1 Peter in the New, and they are mixed on purpose, so one week is not all Psalms and the next all Paul. A plain line of our own sits under each verse to help you hold it.

Ways to use a daily promise
Morning. Open this page with your coffee. Read the verse and the line under it. Say a short prayer that starts with the promise, something like Lord, You said this. I am counting on it today.
Midday. Take a screenshot of the verse and set it as your lock screen. Every time you check the time, you see what God said.
Evening. Before bed, think back over the day. Where did you see this promise at work? Where did you need it and forget it? Thank God for one thing.
With others. Send today's verse to one person who needs it. A promise passed along often lands at just the right moment for someone else.
If you want to go deeper with one verse, our guide to a promises of God devotional shows a five step way to pray a promise through.
When today's promise does not seem to fit
Some mornings you will open this page and the verse will feel far from your life. You may be grieving and the promise is about guidance. You may be tired and it is about temptation. That is all right. Read it anyway, because it is still true, and then look for the promise you need.
Our pages on comfort and grief, strength and peace gather the verses for those days. If you are carrying something heavy, keep talking to people who love you and to your doctor too. Reaching for help is not a lack of faith.
Read them one at a time
