Jeremiah is hard going – God does not break up his anger at the Israelites with promises of the time when all will be well again.

So each chapter is a slog. I need to read some New Testament again.

Still, Jeremiah does contain this lovely promise:

“I will bless the person who puts his trust in me. He is like a tree growing near a stream and sending out roots to the water. It is not afraid when hot weather comes, because its leaves stay green; it has no worries when there is no rain; it keeps on bearing fruit.”

Dear God, Please help me alway put my faith in You. Please give me faith enough to do that. I cannot do it by myself. Please heal M, and continue to heal P. Please give N strength, and help me to do Your will. In Jesus’ name, Amen
