Lamentation


Lamentation

 

[Lam 1:16-17 AMP] 16 "I weep for these things; My eyes overflow with tears, Because a comforter, One who could restore my soul, is far away from me. My children are desolate and perishing, For the enemy has prevailed."

 

I turn to YOU now Living LORD.

 

Where else can I run

 

For I have no one but YOU in heaven.

 

No one but YOU who can do impossible things.

 

My heart is broken.

 

I live in fear of loss.

 

Look LORD now upon what is desolate and perishing!

 

I need impossible things.

 

I need hearts that are hard to be changed.

 

I need the blind to see.

 

I need the deaf to hear.

 

I need the insane to become sane.

 

I need the dry lands to become gardens.

 

Only YOU can do these things.

 

Will you?

 

I beg you!

 

Raise the dead with YOUR word of power and life!

 

For YOUR glory and their good, reverse death and bring vitality.

 

Help now!

 

[Exo 34:6-7 NASB95] 6 Then the LORD passed by in front of him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; 7 who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave [the guilty] unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations."
