I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailin=
g kindness. I will build you up again, and you, Virgin Israel, will be re=
built. Again you will take up your timbrels and go out to dance with the =

remnant of Israel.=E2=80=99 See, I will bring them from the land of the =
north and gather them from the ends of the earth. Among them will be the =
blind and the lame, expectant mothers and women in labor; a great throng =

of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them=

Prayer:
Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with h=
earts open, seeking Your presence and Your Word. Thank You for the promis=
es in Jeremiah 31 , promises of restoration, of unfailing love, and of a =
new covenant written on our hearts.
Lord, we ask that You would re=
build us where we are broken, strengthen us where we are weak, and renew =
our spirits. Remind us that You have loved us with an everlasting love an=
d that You draw us near with kindness and mercy.
As we open Your W=
ord today, help us to hear Your voice clearly. Plant Your truth deep with=
in us and write Your law upon our hearts. Teach us to walk in Your ways a=
s men of integrity, courage, and faith.
Let hope rise within us, L=
ord. For You have promised that there is a future for us and for the gene=
rations after us. Bind us together as brothers, encouraging and sharpenin=
g one another, as we stand firm in Your truth and Your love.
We pl=
ace our lives, our families, and our futures in Your hands. Be glorified =
in our study and in our lives. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
