It’s February—and if you’re feeling a little discouraged about the goals you set in January, you’re not alone. In this one-minute episode of HEARTBEAT, we talk honestly about New Year’s resolutions, unfinished Bible reading plans, and the quiet guilt that can creep in when consistency feels hard.

The good news? God isn’t surprised by our struggles. Scripture reminds us in Lamentations that His mercies are new every morning—not just at the start of the year. Grace was never meant for perfect people with perfect streaks. It was made for real people who stumble, get tired, and still long to follow God.

This short devotional encourages listeners to release the pressure of perfection and remember that God isn’t asking for flawless discipline—He’s asking for a willing heart and a next step. If you’ve fallen behind, you haven’t failed. You’re human. And God is still at work.

 

👉 Don’t forget: You can also download our free devotional, “Mind, Body & Soul,” designed to help strengthen your walk with God through Scripture, prayer, and practical habits.
