Memory Verse; For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Jeremiah 44-45 Psalms 30

Many Christians estimate difficulties in the light of their own resources, and thus attempt little and often fail in the little they attempt. All God’s giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on His power and presence with them. Hudson Taylor

Jesus, may this day be a great display of Your beautiful, loving connection, blessed in our being upon this earth. May we display to all we cross paths with, the beautiful Truth that is from You alone and not of this world. May the souls of those who are hurting others with words and actions, see Your Power and silence themselves around us.  May, they feel Your Mighty Spirit in us and have a strong desire to be freed from the enemy's grip on their being.  Amen (Prayerscross)

Jeremiah 41:16-43 Psalms 29

Unless you make what is right left, and what is left right, what is above into what is below, and what is behind into what is in front, you will not learn to know the Kingdom. Acts of Peter

Things are topsy-turvy in your kingdom, God. The poor bear gifts of great worth, the dead rise, the meek inherit the earth. Teach us how to live in an upside-down world where we are called to welcome the outcast, prepare a feast for the ragged, and forgive those who offend us. Amen. (Commonprayer.net)

Jeremiah 39-41:15 Psalms 28

True friendship calls you out of darkness of personal privacy into the loving candor of mutual concern. It moves you from being a sealed envelope to being an open letter.  Paul David Tripp

Jesus, this day we give our mouths to You for the words, You desire to be spoken, may be heard.  The world is seemingly full of anger and desire to speak it. We know that Your Word is the truthful deliverance for all things happening and You have blessed our beings with the precious gift of Your Word and Love.  This day we speak of You and may all around us know that we belong to You and only You! Amen (Prayerscross)

Memory Verse; For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Jeremiah 37-38 Psalms 27

It is not fitting to serve at the same time the symbol of Christ and the symbol of the devil, the power light, and the power darkness. One and the same soul cannot serve two masters. And how may we wage war without the sword that God himself has taken away from us? How can we learn the use of the sword, when Our Lord said that he who raised the sword would perish by the sword? And how can the sons of peace take part in combat? Tertullian

Jesus, you are known as both the Lion of Judah and the Sacrificial Lamb. As we follow you, we learn both mighty power and humble submission. Teach us when to imitate you as Lion and when as Lamb. Amen. (Commonprayer.net)

Jeremiah 36 Psalms 26

Rivers of living water are to be poured out over the whole world, to ensure that -people, like fishes caught in a net, can be restored to wholeness. Hildegard of Bingen 

Lord, to laugh in the midst of trial and to rejoice in the darkest valley is another way of saying, “Our hope is in you.” Fill us with laughter and joy while we work for peace and strive for justice. Amen. (Commonprayer.net)

Memory Verse; For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Jeremiah 34,35, Psalms 25

The widespread substitution of mental strain for physical stain is no advantage from our point of view.  Proper physical work, even if strenuous, does not absorb a great deal of the power of attention, but mental work does; so that there is no attention left over for the spiritual things that really matter.  It is obviously much easier for a hard-working peasant to keep his mind attuned to the divine than for a strained office worker.  E. F. Schumacher

 Grant me, I beg you, almighty and merciful God, fervently to desire, wisely to search out, truly to acknowledge, and perfectly to fulfill, all that is well-pleasing to you. Order my worldly condition to the honor and glory of your name; and of all that you require me to do, grant me the knowledge, the desire, and the ability, that I may so fulfill it as I ought, and as is expedient for the welfare of my soul.

Amen. (Thomas Aquinas)

Memory Verse; The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14 NIV

Jeremiah 32,33, Psalms 24

One of the reasons we have not been as good at understanding change as we might have been, is that we are taught about a past world as if it were still existing; we are preparing ourselves for a world we no longer face.  Even now our schools teach about the world of past decades and largely ignore the present let alone the future. Harry Clay Blaney III

Praise the God whom time cannot hold!  Help me to remember you turned the water back in the past.  Help me to reflect on your presence now.  Help me to rejoice, that you are about to do something new in my life.  You are making a way for your children.  You provide water in times of thirst. Whatever comes my way, You are the answer.  Amen (REM)
