But neither (King Zedekiah) nor his servants nor the people of the land listened to the words of the Lord that He spoke through Jeremiah the prophet. King Zedekiah sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the priest, the son of Maaseiah, to Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “Please pray for us to the Lord our God.” (Jeremiah 37:2,3 ESV)
Praying
No matter how bad our situation is, there is prayer. Even King Zedekiah, rebellious against God, stubbornly deaf, falsely hopeful in false hopes, knew enough to pray.
Because God is patient, so very patient.
Because God keeps His promises, in His time.
Because God is the One true living God of the universe.
Zedekiah asked Jeremiah to pray.
We feel pretty hopeless at times. Pray.
We feel abandoned sometimes. Pray.
We feel lost. Pray.
We are peculiar, we can pray.
