Jeremiah 37 ~ Praying God's Word

Please read Jeremiah 37.

Meditate on and memorize this phrase from verse 3.

Please pray to the LORD our God on our behalf.

It is important to notice the context of the meditation verse.  Jeremiah 37:2 says that no one in the land of Judah was listening to the Words of the LORD, yet King Zedekiah called for Jeremiah to pray on their behalf.  Zedekiah wanted Jeremiah to ask God to make everything okay, for the Chaldeans not to destroy Jerusalem.  He wanted God’s blessings even though he and the people refused to listen and obey God’s Word.

Examine your life.  Do you hear and heed the Word of God, or do you ignore God’s commands and precepts yet continue to ask for and expect Him to bless you?

Use the words from Jeremiah 37:2-3 to pray over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, I pray on behalf of _________ and me.

Help us listen to Your Words.

In Your name, Jesus~”
