Episode 347: Jeremiah 31

Today's Prayer Meditation is on Jeremiah 21

I am yours and you are my God. You saved me from my destructions, and in you, I have found favor and blessings. You have given me rest. 

You love me with an everlasting love. With unfailing love and forgiveness, you drew me close to you. You rebuilt the ruins of my life. I am happy again and dance for joy.

I plant vineyards and eat from my own garden. I come into your presence and I worship you, Father. 

I sing and shout with praise and joy in my heart. You have saved me. Tears of joy stream down my face, as you lead me home with great care. I walk beside quiet streams and on smooth paths where I will not stumble. 

You watch over me as a shepherd watches his flock. You have redeemed me. I sing songs of joy and I shine radiantly because of your good gifts. 

You bless me with an abundant harvest. My life is like a lush, well-watered garden. All my sorrows are gone. I dance for joy. You have turned my mourning into joy. You comfort me and you have exchanged my sorrow for rejoicing. I enjoy abundance and feast on your good gifts.

I weep no longer, for you have given me a great reward. There is hope for my future. You discipline me when I need it, like a calf that needs training for the yoke. But when I turn to you again, you restore me. You alone are the Lord my God. I turned away from you, but then I was sorry when I understood what I had done. In shame and regret, I kicked myself for my stupidity. I was thoroughly ashamed for the disgraceful things I did in my younger days. 

But you never abandoned me. You never forgot me. I am still your darling child. You still love me. You longed for me and had mercy on me. 

I was weary, and you gave me rest. I was sorrowing, and you gave me joy. You refreshed my soul. You deliberately plant and build me up. You made a new covenant with me, not like the one you made with Israel of old when you brought them out of Egypt. You have put your instructions deep within me. You have written them on my heart. The veil between us is gone and I now know you intimately. I am yours and you are my God. 

You forgave my sins and will never remember them again. 

Father, you provide the sun to light the day and the moon and stars to light the night, and you stir the sea into roaring waves. You are the God of Angel Armies. 

You would no sooner reject me than you would abolish the laws of nature. Just as the heavens cannot be measured and the foundations of the earth cannot be explored, so you will not consider casting me away.

So be it.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
