Heritage: Lamentations: Prayers and Poetry

                 Heritage

                Bereft of city

                squandered heritage

                struck by own sin

                barren future

                eyes dim

                fatigue saps strength

                forgotten by God

                ever hungry

                seek return of

                child's status

                create once more

                a sincere heart.

Psalm 37:39: "The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their refuge in the time of trouble."

Refuge: Lamentations: Prayers and Poetry

 Reading: Lamentations 5:16-20: "....Woe to us, for we have sinned! Because of this our heart is faint; Because of these things our eyes are dim; ... Thou, O Lord, dost rule forever; Thy throne is from generation to generation."

Refuge

Too often the Lord's truth becomes hidden or buried behind our fears and worries and confusion. Only He can guide us with the truth that we need to follow His purpose in all situations.

His path.

Lord, we ask You to show us the way to go. May we hold Your hand, as a toddler does, with love and trust and curiosity to see the ongoing road You choose.
