2 Samuel 2:1-32; Micah 4:9-5:15; Romans 11:1-12
And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity. Lamentations 3:17
He shutteth out my prayer. Lamentations 3:8
Great is thy faithfulness. Lamentations 3:23
Have you ever felt like this? Godly Jeremiah did, and I must admit I have also and I am no Jeremiah. This is when we must remind ourselves that “the Lord is at hand” (Phil. 4:5). Do not rely on feelings. Remember the Lord will bring you through. “Great is thy faithfulness” (Lam. 3:23). —Brian Russell
Then feels my deepest smart,
The soul-reviving power,
And gently rests my troubled heart,
Beneath the crimson shower. —Gerhard Tersteegen
