Lamentations 5 v 1 - 8; 19 - 21
Jeremiah's prayer for mercy

Jeremiah is in distress over Israel’s situation, then turns to the Lord and pleads his case.

In reading these verses, it seems we can relate to Israel, with our current situation being very similar – not only in our country but across the globe.

The reason for this is simple and obvious. We have turned away from God and His ordinances, and have made an image of god for ourselves. Whether it is a literal image, or an image in our mind, the result is the same.

Do not be dismayed, because the Lord, our God remains in control. Even though satan is the ruler of this world (2 Cor 4 v 4), God will take care of His children. Those who trust in Him for provision, will have enough.

My prayer for you today is this:
No matter how dire your situation might seem and you feel lost and forgotten. God knows your circumstances and will look after you and provide in your needs. Bring your case before the Lord. Seek Him and remember He makes everything work for good, for those who love Him (Rom 8 v 28).
