What does this story teach us about God’s character, especially when we face setbacks in pursuit of his call? Does Jeremiah’s experience resonate with you or your current circumstances? How can you pray in these moments of setback? How can you support leaders in your church or your community when they face rejection or misunderstanding in their pursuit of obedience or integrity? PRAYER: Faithful God, look upon your servants who daily who face trial or rejection in their pursuit of your call, even as Christ was despised and rejected that your will might be done; vindicate them, Lord, in your mercy, that they may faithfully proclaim your Word and live according to your commandments, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. PRACTICE: Review your rule of life one more time, carefully thinking through what practices of discipleship and habits of life will best fortify and refresh you in God’s presence, so that you can face the trials and setbacks that come your way with faithfulness and wisdom. http://cityoflightanglican.org/events/jeremiah
