Introduction

Jeremiah 32:16–35: Jeremiah prays to the LORD, recalling God’s mighty acts in delivering the people from slavery in Egypt and giving them the rich and fertile land of Canaan. Because the people did not obey God or remain faithful, Judah is now under siege by the Babylonians.

Today’s Key Verse: Jeremiah 32:27

“I am the LORD, the God of all people. Nothing is too difficult for me.”

Reflect

In Jeremiah’s prayer, what does he recall (verses 16–23)? How does he describe what is now taking place (verses 24–25)? How does God respond to Jeremiah (verses 26–35)? In what ways have you experienced God’s answers to your prayers?

Pray

Sovereign God, indeed nothing is too difficult for you, and I praise you for your mighty deeds. I stand on your word, trusting in your promises and in your steadfast love and care. Amen.
