Weep and Pray . . .
Monday, June 1st, 2009There is much to wail for . . . In our country, in our church, in our families, in our own personal lives . . . This is something we women are called to do . . . weep and pray . . .
” . . . It is because they have forsaken my law, which I have set before them;
They have not obeyed me or followed my law.
Instead they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts . . . .
Call for the wailing women to come . . .
Let them come quickly and wail over us till our eyes overflow with tears and waters streams from our eyelids . . . .
Now, O women, hear the word of the Lord:
Open your ears to the words of His mouth.
Teach your daughters how to wail;
Teach one another a lament.
Death has climbed in through our windows
And has entered our fortresses;
It has cut off the children from the streets
And the young men from the public squares.”
-The Weeping Prophet – Jeremiah 9: 13-20
