SHEPHERDS: The LORD will give you shepherds after His own heart - Jeremiah 3:15

Return home, you wayward children,” says the LORD, “for I Am your Master. I will bring you back to the land of Israel—one from this town and two from that family—from wherever you are scattered. And I will give you shepherds after My own heart, who will guide you with knowledge and understanding." Jeremiah 3:13-15 NLT


Living Truth: “I AM the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep." John 10:11; " When they had eaten breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?"” Yes, Lord,” he said to Him, “You know that I love You.” “Feed My lambs,” He told him. A second time He [Jesus] asked him, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?"” Yes, Lord,” he said to Him, “You know that I love You.” “Care for My sheep,” He told him. He asked him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved that He asked him the third time, “Do you love Me?” He said, “Lord, You know everything! You know that I love You.” “Feed My sheep,” Jesus said." John 21:15-17; “The LORD is my shepherd, there is nothing I lack," Psalm 23:1

Praise & Prayer
I thank You, Lord Jesus, for being the Good Shepherd who laid down Your life to save, guide, teach, protect, and care for me. I'm also grateful for the faithful shepherds You placed in my life who have nourished me with knowledge of Your holy Word and helped me understand Your truth. Holy Spirit, please teach me to be a shepherd with a heart like Jesus, who genuinely cares for and feeds others just as He cares for me. Please protect me from becoming a shepherd who helps others for selfish reasons. Provide me with opportunities today to show that I love Jesus by caring for wounded souls needing spiritual, mental, emotional, or physical assistance. I pray for their salvation in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

MERCY: The LORD is merciful to you - Jeremiah 3:12

He told me to go and say to Israel, "Unfaithful Israel, come back to Me. I Am merciful and will not be angry; I will not be angry with you forever. Only admit that you are guilty and that you have rebelled against the LORD, your God. Confess that under every green tree you have given your love to foreign gods and that you have not obeyed my commands. I, the LORD, have spoken. Jeremiah 3:1213 GNT

Living Truth: "If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose]." 1 John 1:9; "But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved." Ephesians 2:4-5; "Let the wicked leave their way of life and change their way of thinking. Let them turn to the LORD, our God; He is merciful and quick to forgive." Isaiah 55:7

Prayer & Praise
The only reason I can stand before You free from condemnation and guilt, Abba Father, is because of Christ's great mercy and precious blood that cleanses me from all sin. Lord Jesus, I praise You for going to the cross to pay the debt of my iniquities and thank You for Your endless mercy. Holy Spirit, please guide me to someone today who is self-condemning and believes they are unforgivable. Allow the truth of God's great mercy and Christ's unwavering compassion to free them from guilt as they confess their sins to Jesus and accept Him as their Lord. I pray for their salvation in Jesus' mighty name.

GOODNESS: The LORD has blessed you with His goodness - Jeremiah 2:7

“I brought you into a good land, a land filled with many good things. I did this so that you could eat the fruit and crops that grow there. But you only made my land ‘dirty.’ I gave that land to you, but you made it a bad place." Jeremiah 2:7

Prayer & Praise
Holy Father, as I read this scripture, my heart is moved to sing of Your goodness that runs after me. Thank You for the undeserved favor and boundless mercy that You have bestowed upon my life through Your beloved Son, Christ Jesus. Lord Jesus, I have experienced Your goodness and praise You for rescuing me from the wasteland of the dead and leading me to the land of the living. I never want to bring shame to Your name by backsliding and returning to an idolatrous and sinful lifestyle like the people of Judah did. Please continue working Your will in my life so I can grow in being a faithful and fruitful witness like Jeremiah, who brings honor to You and our Heavenly Father. Amen.

DELIVERER: The LORD is with you to deliver you - Jeremiah 1:19

Now behold, this day I have made you like a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land— against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land. They will fight against you but will never overcome you, since I Am with you to deliver you, declares the LORD. Jeremiah 1:18-19 BSB

LIVING TRUTH: "Don’t be afraid, for I Am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I Am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with My victorious right hand." Isaiah 41:10; "Jesus told them, "You don't need to know about times or periods that the Father has determined by His own authority. But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with power, and you will be witnesses for Me in Jerusalem, in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:7-8

Praise & Prayer
The LORD Almighty is my Deliverer who is with me; why be afraid? The LORD Almighty is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD Almighty is the stronghold of my life; whom shall I dread? As for me, I am filled with the power of God's Holy Spirit to bear witness to the Good News of salvation to all who believe in Jesus Christ. Make me Lord Jesus, like a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls that I may be a messenger of Your everlasting love and infinite power to save the lost and heal the hopeless. I pray in Your mighty name.

STICKING: God is always is sticking with you - Jeremiah 1:12

God’s Message came to me: “What do you see, Jeremiah?”
I said, “A walking stick—that’s all.”
And God said, “Good eyes! I’m sticking with you.
I’ll make every word I give you come true.” Jeremiah 1:11-12 MSG

Unfailing Truth: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6; "Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples: baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Teach them to do everything I have commanded you. "And remember that I AM always with you until the end of time." Matthew 28:19-20

Praise & Prayer
Thank You, Heavenly Father, for Your infallible promise that You are sticking with me, as You promised to do with Jeremiah and all who love You. Lord Jesus, my heart is filled with hope and full assurance of faith, believing that You are always with me no matter what sufferings or hardships I face until the end of my days here on earth. Holy Spirit, please help me have good eyes to see God's walking stick by my side and boldly proclaim, "The LORD is my God, my Rock, my Fortress, and my Helper, who will never leave me nor forsake me." I pray in Jesus' mighty name.

TOUCHED: The Lord has touched and put His word in your mouth - Jeremiah 1:9

Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth." Jeremiah 1:9 NKJV

Living Truth: "Honor Christ and let Him be the LORD of your life. Always be ready to give an answer when someone asks you about your hope." 1 Peter 3:15; "The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of those who are instructed to know how to sustain the weary with a word. He awakens Me each morning; He awakens My ear to listen like those being instructed." Isaiah 50:4.

Prayer & Praise
Just as You did with Jeremiah, Lord God, I ask in Jesus' name that You touch my lips and put Your words in my mouth. Christ Jesus, I confess You as Lord of my life. Please give me an instructed tongue so I am always ready to speak Your living word, revealing Your heart of mercy and grace to my family, friends, and people in the marketplace who sit in darkness and feel hopeless. Holy Spirit, please guide me to a depressed soul needing hope. Awaken their spirit and strengthen their faith in Jesus as I share God's life-changing Word. In Jesus' mighty name, I pray healing and salvation over them.

PROTECTED: Do not be afraid, the Lord will protect you - Jeremiah 1:8

"Don’t be afraid of anyone. I Am with you, and I will protect you.” This message is from the Lord. Jeremiah 1:8 ERV

Infallible Truth: "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27; "The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand. The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul. The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore." Psalm 121:5-8.

Praise & Prayer for Protection
I thank You, Sovereign LORD, for faithful servants like Jeremiah, whom You protect when threatened or persecuted for speaking Your Word. Even though I walk through the darkest valley or face forces of evil, I will not be afraid, for You, Lord Jesus, are with me and will protect me. Please fill me with Your heart of courage and help me be an instrument of Your love, grace, mercy, and truth in my home and the marketplace. Holy Spirit, please remind me that nothing can happen to me that God does not permit. Use me to help someone today who has a heart filled with fear and needs God's protection. I pray for their deliverance in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, my Savior.
