Jeremiah 1:5 - "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." Let's remember that God has something special planned for each of our children. Let's try to cultivate that as much as possible and let's try not to push them towards what we want them to do.  They will only truly be comfortable in life if they are doing the will of God for their lives. - Jason Myers

Jeremiah 17:5 - "Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord."  A song this weekend "My God is bigger than any problems" made me wonder how many times I trust in myself or others to get through trials, make big decisions, etc.  Let's go straight to the One that can help us with all things. - Jason Barrett

Jeremiah 31:3b - "Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee." Years ago, a buddy of mine was struggling in his marriage.  He couldn't compel his wife to be and do what he wanted through the force of his strong personality.  Frustrated, he asked me what I thought he should do.  I passed along to him a very important insight from this verse:  Christ draws us to Him, compels his bride, not by force but with lovingkindness. - Daniel Holser

Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."   Praise God that He has a plan (expected end) for all of us and wants to use each of us in a great way.  Are we working toward His will for us? - Jason Barrett

Jeremiah 33:2-3 - "Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name; Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not."

We are familiar with verse 3 but verse 2 is so important. It shows and explains who God really is, and the power He holds to answer our prayers.  I truly believe we as Christians do not pray enough, nor do we fully realize the power that is untapped by us through prayer. Remember, we have access to the one who owns it all. Don't make prayer the last option, make it your first.  - Joshua Gross
