Lessons from Weeping Prophet
(Prayer Walk thro Lam 1-5)
Backgrounder: In Lamentations
the prophet Jeremiah turns to
poetry to express his deepest
emotions over the tragic fall of
Jerusalem. The book consists
of five poems. The prophet begins
by weeping over Jerusalem in the
midst of her destruction. But thro
his tears, Jeremiah turns his heart
to view the sovereign God behind
it all. As he considers God’s Control
of human affairs, Jeremiah is able
to shout victoriously: Great is thy
faithfulness (3:23) as he intercedes
for the restoration of the nation
after its punishment is complete.
Dear Lord, we learn in Lamentation
that to disobey You is to invite
disaster. But U are always Faithful
to Your people, ever merciful and
restoration is upmost in your plan.
Help us to Find Hope in sorrow
and See Your Timing Is Perfect for
U are Unchanging & Faithful. Amen
