“Do not weep any longer,
for I will reward you,” says the Lord.
“Your children will come back to you
from the distant land of the enemy.
There is hope for your future,” says the Lord.
“Your children will come again to their own land.
Jeremiah 31:16-17 (New Living Translation)
Abba Father, You see my weariness, my uneasiness proceeding from continual waiting and disappointed expectation. It seems that my patience is exhausted, and I am discouraged. Yahweh, I come to you, strengthen me according Your word. In Your unfailing love lead me. I know this full well that You will perfect that which concerns me. Though it may tarry, it will for sure come to pass. I commit, our people who have gone far from you and have been lost to the enemy (Satan), to Your care. Now they are in Your hands. Redeem them from the land of the enemy quickly so that they may not lose one more day from the joy of knowing You intimately. Even one lifetime is too little to know You. I, myself regret the days I spent away from You. O Lord God, what a loss! Redeem my lost days. Help me make maximum use of the days that’s left to know You, love You, and adore You. I am positively persuaded that You are able to guard and keep that which I have committed to You. You are more than enough. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen
