Jeremiah 42:2-4,7
2 Jeremiah the prophet and said to him, “Please hear our petition and pray to the Lord your God for this entire remnant. For as you now see, though we were once many, now only a few are left. 3 Pray that the Lord your God will tell us where we should go and what we should do.” 4 “I have heard you,” replied Jeremiah the prophet. “I will certainly pray to the Lord your God as you have requested; I will tell you everything the Lord says and will keep nothing back from you.” 7 Ten days later the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.
Reflection
Our scripture today reminds us that the answer to our prayers does not always come in our timing but God’s. In fact sometimes God says no to our prayer request because in the end things will work out for the best that way. Have you ever experienced a season in your life where God said no to a prayer request but later you saw that it worked out for the best?
