Have Faith Not Fear
But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares the Lord.”
Jeremiah 1:7-8 (ESV)
Prophet Jeremiah was given a tough assignment from birth – preaching to the adulterous Israelites to return to God. On top of that, Jeremiah was against his own Jewish leaders who worshipped God in pretense.
When I was a new believer prompted by God to “go and proclaim His Word to the faithless and the disobedient”, I responded like young Jeremiah: “Behold Lord, I do not know how to speak for I am just a youth”. But those God calls and are obedient, He will equip us for He is our Lord and God, He will empower us through.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, forgive us when we are faithless and weak. Help us to submit to Your voice and obey Your Will. You are the Master who brings sinners and wanderers back to Your sheep-pan. Fear can’t come near us for You hold the victory. Amen.

About this Plan
Jeremiah, the author of this book, was born in approximately 650 BC. He was called by God to prophesy to the southern kingdom of Judah of the imminent judgement due to their disobedience to God. Often mocked and beaten for his prophecies, Jeremiah remained faithful to his calling. Though Judah was given forty years to repent, the people continued in sin and were eventually exiled to Babylon in 586 BC.
