This is a very sad time in our lives. "It's precisely our consciousness of sin that can lead us nearer to God." Closer, Our God, bring us closer as we deal with our own stuff. So aware of the presence of a Good God in the midst of some confusion over here. We don't understand but we trust. We are in the dark night of the soul and pray we hold tight and remain faithful.
Does God ever give up on us?
Jeremiah 15:1 "Jeremiah, even if Moses and Samuel stood here and made their case, I wouldn't feel a thing for this people. They walked out on Me. ... Jeremiah 16:12 Take a good look in the mirror—each of you doing whatever you want, whenever you want, refusing to pay attention to me. And for this I'm getting rid of you, throwing you out in the cold, into a far and strange country. You can worship your precious no-gods there to your heart's content. Rest assured, I won't bother you anymore.'
Why this pain and no healing in sight?
Jeremiah 15:15 Your Words showed up and I ate them....but why this pain and no healing in sight? You're nothing, God, but a mirage, a lovely oasis in the distance—and then nothing! This is how God answered me: "Take back those words, and I'll take you back. Then you'll stand tall before me. Use words truly and well. Don't stoop to cheap whining. Then, but only then, you'll speak for me. Let your words change them. Don't change your words to suit them. I'll turn you into a steel wall, a thick steel wall, impregnable.
They'll attack you butwon't put a dent in you because I'm at your side, defending and delivering."

Is my confidence in the men I know and my success?
Jeremiah 17:1 "Judah's sin is engraved with a steel chisel, engraved on their granite hearts. Jeremiah 17:5 God's Message: Cursed is the strong one who depends on mere humans, Who thinks he can make it on muscle alone and sets God aside as dead weight. "But blessed is the man who trusts Me. They're like trees replanted in Eden, putting down roots near the rivers— bearing fruit every season. Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is hopelessly dark and deceitful, a puzzle that no one can figure out. But I, God, search the heart and examine the mind. things. I treat them as they really are, not as they pretend to be."
