Message: A prayer to the Lord from the children of Jerusalem. God's relationship with Judah has been strained, but not snuffed out.
Time: Jerusalem, in mourning, after it's fall, in 586 BC at the hands of the Assyrians (Babylon).
What the Lord is Saying:
Lord, remember us
Disgraced
Strangers possess our inheritance
Orphans
Fatherless
Widowed
Must buy water
Must buy warmth
No rest
Our slaves are our masters
No one left to rescue us
Enemies rape our women
Princes hanged
Boys must work
Joy has left
We have sinned
Lord, you remain forever
Your throne continues
Restore us Lord
Bring us back to You
Bring back our joys
Don't be angry with us
Promise: Forgiveness is near. In the end, our trust must turn to the Lord. Always turn to prayer, even when things seem hopeless.
