These words were penned by Jeremiah in the short book of Lamentations in a dire situation. Jerusalem had fallen to Babylon, and it was a time of deep grief and national mourning. Most of this book is lamenting, but sandwiched in the middle is incredible hope found in the meaning of Lamentations 3:22-24
[22] 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.
[24] I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
