A Parent's Prayer

 

Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears;

For your work shall be rewarded…

And they shall come back from the land of the enemy.

There is hope in your future…

That your children shall come back to their own border.

Jeremiah 31:16-17

I know there are many of you who have children or other loved ones who have given up on God and His love for them.  Some are just tired of religion that has many rules but few answers.  Some have turned their back on God completely.  The isolation of the pandemic (and the endless questions about why God doesn’t “do something” about it) has caused others to turn away.

If “Bring up a child…” Is one of your favorite promises, add this verse in Jeremiah to your prayer arsenal.  God has repeatedly promised that He will do all in His power to save every one of His children.  Ultimately, every human being on earth has the power to choose God’s love or reject it, but the Holy Spirit will continue to call.  As long as there is life and breath, there is always hope.
