God's Promise

This is what the LORD says, he who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it—the LORD is his name: 3 "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." Jeremiah 33:2-3

Some things seem to escape our understanding, no matter how hard we try. Right now, we may be facing challenges and hardships of which no end is in sight. Health concerns or financial strain, grief or anxiety, anger or despair; each can create in us a sense of “desolate waste” if we face them alone. If we turn to God in all our times of need, and trust the promise made to Jeremiah, then this is also our promise to claim.

God of all the world, you see and know the challenges faced by each of your children. You know the conflicts that exist in the world and within our hearts. You have promised your people that by turning to you, we will learn and understand things that we do not know. Help us now as we call upon you in humility, we place our trust in you. Show us what we need to know, give us your grace to understand and to live in faithfulness to you.

We offer our prayers for the women of Kentucky Correctional Institution for Women, especially the friends who are grieving the death of Mona Neace.
