Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 27“I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?

“This is what the Lord says: As I have brought all this great calamity on this people, so I will give them all the prosperity I have promised them.

I will slay in my anger and wrath. I will hide my face from this city because of all its wickedness.

6“ ‘Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security. 

I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me. 9Then this city will bring me renown, joy, praise and honor before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it; and they will be in awe and will tremble at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it.’

“Have you not noticed that these people are saying, ‘The Lord has rejected the two kingdoms he chose’? So they despise my people and no longer regard them as a nation. 

Lord God my Father,

You are greater than creation, you can handle all my battles. The struggles reveal my weakness, help me to learn how to trust in your plan and gain wisdom in my thoughts. Keep me from taking on my struggles alone and rely on your design, your strength and not my own understanding. Cleanse me from my desire to control or understand the sin nature within and around me. Keep me from my sin and rebellion and place a Peace in me that represents you only without fear or deception getting involved. Allow your light to be my only guide. Thank you for your nature in my life.

in Jesus name I pray,

Amen
