Jeremiah
"Do it for Your name's sake"
Text: Jeremiah 14:7
A MOVING PRAYER OF JEREMIAH
Jeremiah was moved deeply by the suffering of the children of Judah. He could not help but be driven to seek God in intercessory prayer.
“O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us,
Do it for Your name’s sake;
For our backslidings are many,
We have sinned against You.
O the Hope of Israel, his Saviour in time of trouble,
Why should You be like a stranger in the land,
And like a traveller who turns aside to tarry for a night?
Why should You be like a man astonished,
Like a mighty one who cannot save?
Yet You, O LORD, are in our midst,
And we are called by Your name;
Do not leave us!”
Jeremiah 14:7-9
