28th Day of Lent +++ Wait and Pray

Psalm79    Psaume 79

Jeremiah 18.1-12    Jérémie 18.1-12

That there is injustice in the world is a fact. That we ourselves sometimes suffer it and perpetuate it is also. That God has the power to the deliver us is believed; but when God does not act, we question and sometimes we realize God’s correcting hand. We ask and we pray, How long, O Lord, how long? This is a cry for mercy, and it is also one for the restoration of our relationship with God. We cry out with the Psalmist, “Help us, O God of our salvation!” Will we have faith and trust that God is the Shepherd and we the flock of God’s pasture? That God will deliver us and forgive us?

Today, may you draw close to the forgiving and loving God, who moulds you like a potter moulding the clay. May you know the peace of God who restores relationship and redeems all. May you believe that God will act and is not far off, that the Kingdom is at hand. May you have the hope that the cry of your heart has been heard by God and will be answered, as you wait and pray.
