Here’s
a prayer inspired by the prophet Jeremiah.
It comes from the Vanderbilt
Divinity Library website.
Prayer of Petition
(inspired by
Jeremiah)
God
of power and justice,
like
Jeremiah you weep over those
who
wander from you,
turn
aside to other gods,
and
enter into chaos and destruction.
By
your tears and through your mercy,
teach
us your ways
and
write them on our hearts
so
that we may follow faithfully
the
path you show us. Amen.
