You know how life can be kind of confusing?
Maybe you are wondering whether you should take that new job, get out of an iffy relationship, or (if you watch the ads on Fox News at night, like we sometimes do) talk to your doctor about whatever it is that you think you might have.
Or maybe you’ve just gotten yourself into a slightly awkward position, and you aren’t quite sure what to do about it:
Anyhow…there’s a prayer for that.
Way back when Jeremiah was in prison (and maybe wondering why he ever got into the whole prophet gig), God made him a promise: “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”
That pledge wasn’t just for Jeremiah; the accessibility of God’s guidance is a theme that runs throughout Scripture. When we aren’t sure which way is up (or even what we are looking at, options-wise), God can help. When we need wisdom and direction and answers, he promises that, if we earnestly seek him, he will deliver.
Whatever your need or uncertainty is today, call on God. Seek him. Make Jeremiah 33:3 your own personal prayer:
Heavenly Father, I am calling on you now. Please answer me, and tell me great and unsearchable things that I do not know. (Jeremiah 33:3)
I have been missing your blog for awhile and it is while I’m driving or grocery shopping or walking my dogs that I think,”I need to get back to Jodie’s blog!” So this morning I did. I was scrolling through your posts and came upon the 4/24 reflection when God promises Jeremiah ,He will answer us when we call and tell us great and unsearchable things we do not know. I will pack up this little gem and take it with me EVERYWHERE!
And I will add a little something to it, that our dear friend Lisa shared with us in a recent Bible Study. Let me get my notes quickly….”I don’t know what to do but my eyes are on You!” My dear daughter and I recently gave “full surrender on our faces” and connected through our mobiles beseeching the Lord to please make known to us things we did not know and were troubling. We don’t know what He has in mind but we have fortified confidence and know He is faithful to His promises. He is Able and He Can! All Glory to Him!
Amen! What a great comment, Ann! Praying for Cait as she embarks on her very first Missions Trip! So exciting! xo
I’m grateful you made the post. It’s cleared the air for me.
