Trust in the Lord (Aug 25)
Jeremiah himself becomes object
lesson for what’s soon to befall
Judah. The prophet is commanded
to remain celibate and avoids feast
days; a reminder to his countrymen
that they will soon experience
involuntarily what Jeremiah is
called to experience voluntarily.
For loss of comfort and joy await
God’s rebellious people. But then
God’s discipline is still redemptive.
Lord, we will Trust & Cling to You:
Blessed is the one who Trusts in the
Lord, whose confidence is in Him.
They will be like a tree planted
by the water that sends out its
roots by the stream. It does not
fear when heat comes; its leaves
are always green. It has no worries
in a year of drought and never
fails to Bear Fruit (Jer 17:7-8).
Heal me O Lord & I will be Healed,
Save me and I shall be saved, for
You are the one I praise (v14) Amen
Lord, I put my complete Trust in You
for You are my hope & confidence.
Help me to never turn from You;
instead let my roots go deep into
You as I feed in Your Word each day.
Thank You Lord for Your promise
to bring forth fruit in my life.
And make my soul prosperous
even in the long dry spells.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Lord, You are good & I trust in You
for You are my hope & confidence.
Draw me ever closer to You and
give me a passion to seek You.
Help me to Be Fruitful even during
life’s dry season and into old age.
Help me to put my roots deep
into You and Your Word that I be
able to endure hard times and wait
for Your sure deliverance. Amen.
Lord, how grateful I am that U came
as our Healer besides our Saviour.
In Your mercy, I ask for Your healing
touch upon my friends who need it.
As I had experienced Your healing
a few times before, I know when
You heal, I can be healed fully. At
the same time, I ask for guidance
and the discipline to take proper
care of my physical body. Amen.
