“Then all the military leaders, including Johanan son of Kareah and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people, from the least to the greatest, approached 2 Jeremiah the prophet. They said, ‘Please pray to the Lord your God for us. As you can see, we are only a tiny remnant compared to what we were before. 3 Pray that the Lord your God will show us what to do and where to go.’” ~ Jeremiah 42:1-3NLT
The people of Judah had turned to other gods, other desires, other teachings, and had forgotten their first love. When they were afraid of the Babylonians, they were prepared to leave and go to a land that they were never meant to return to. When they went to the Prophet Jeremiah, they asked him to pray to the LORD his God. Did you catch that? They separated themselves from The LORD God. From the only God.
They had strayed so far, that they had fallen asleep spiritually. They no longer had that connection to God. Instead, they had replaced that connection with other false gods and idols. How many of us have drifted off into a spiritual sleep that we no longer have a connection to God? That we can no longer relate to God as our God?
Turn to God. Repent. And He will awaken you. He will protect you. And He will set you free from all of your troubles, pain, hurt, sadness, sins. He will take it all from you, just call out His Name.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Stop Separating Yourself From God.
