Jeremiah 12 - Praying God's Word

Please read Jeremiah 12.

Meditate on verse 3a.

But You know me, O LORD; You see me,

and You examine my heart’s attitude toward You.

Jeremiah preached to people who said the name “God,” yet He was the farthest thing from their mind (v. 2). They did not think about the LORD and His Word as they made decisions and walked through their days. They pleased themselves, their idols, and the wicked people around them (vs. 14-17). They refused to listen and take God and His Word to heart (vs. 11,17).

Jeremiah was the opposite. He had an intimate relationship with the LORD. Jeremiah discussed matters with God, and he knew the LORD saw him and was listening to him (vs. 1, 3).

Think about your walk with the LORD. Do you attend church, sing a few songs about God, then go through the rest of your week without giving Him another thought? Or do you live life with the LORD, wanting to please Him, discussing everything with Him, aware that He knows everything about you?

Pray Jeremiah 12:2-3 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, You have planted _________ and me. 

We have taken root; we grow and produce fruit.  Make it good fruit for You! 

LORD, be near to our lips and on our minds.  You know us, O LORD;

You see us, and You examine our heart’s attitude toward You. 

Make us pleasing to You.

In Your name, Jesus~”
