Morning Light - Jeremiah 14

Today: [Jeremiah 14] When God Says Stop Praying. In this chapter, we find the nation of Judah dealing with the invading Babylonians, when something worse happens. Have you ever experienced compound problems, one after another? It is devastating emotionally and draining physically to fight a battle on more than one front. Jeremiah cries out to God and acknowledges that even in the midst of terrible problems, the people are unrepentance and refuse to cease from their transgressions. In the midst of very compassionate intercession, God tells Jeremiah to stop praying because He will not hear their cries. Why would this be the case and would this ever apply to situations we find ourselves in?
