Jeremiah 32:17 Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. ‭(NIV‬‬)

**Jeremiah 32:27 I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me? (NIV)

**Jeremiah 33:3** Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. (NIV)

Prayerlessness is indifference. Prayerlessness is carelessness. Prayerlessness is heedlessness.

If we put a little effort into it, we could come up with a few more “lessnesses.”

The three verses at the top of the page today are among people’s favorite verses to memorize. It would do us well to revisit these chapters. Chapter 32 in particular is a message of judgment and disaster. God shows Jeremiah what lies on the other side of disaster but first comes disaster. It would be good to understand what caused the disaster and avoid similar behavior and mindsets.

Chapter 33 describes the restoration to come and the promise of the Messiah. (See verses 15 and following.)

Commit these verses to memory. Remember where they came from. Take full note of their context. Align your mind with God’s thoughts. Attune your heart to his love. Acknowledge the wonderful reality of 32:17:

Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm.
Nothing is too hard for you.

Listen carefully as God declares

“I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?”

Practice the presence of God and the joy of discovery in response to 33:3:

Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

God has invited you into his presence. He has made the way open and accessible by Jesus. This is a good day to learn how to pray. This is a good day to practice prayerfulness.

—

I will pray at all times with all kinds of prayer practices.

—

Our Father, teach us to pray in days of looming disaster and days of restoration. Teach us to pray now and always. Amen.

Daily D – Lamentations 3:19-27

Lamentations 3:19-27
“I remember my affliction and my wandering,
the bitterness and the gall.
I well remember them,
and my soul is downcast within me.
Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:
Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.
It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is young.”

Job 40:8 “Would you discredit my justice?
Would you condemn me to justify yourself?”

Daily D – Job 35:16

Job 35:16 “So Job opens his mouth with empty talk;
without knowledge he multiplies words.”

Daily D – Job 32:1-5

Job 32:1-5 So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. But Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, became very angry with Job for justifying himself rather than God. He was also angry with the three friends, because they had found no way to refute Job, and yet had condemned him. Now Elihu had waited before speaking to Job because they were older than he. But when he saw that the three men had nothing more to say, his anger was aroused.

Job 31:1 “I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman.”
