Sunday, January 5th

By: Sid Imes-Burkett
Jeremiah 31:7-14

I invite you to read the Jeremiah passage again (starting at verse one for bonus points).

Take it in slowly, savor it, and walk in to the text.
What do you see?
Hear?
Feel?
Where are you in this gathering?
With whom do you walk?
In what ways do you feel God’s arms around you?
Where in your communities do you see places of healing? Abundance? Salvation?

Prayer: God who gathers us in your arms, we give you thanks for your gentleness. Wipe away our tears, shower us in your mercy, and bless us with eyes to see the ways you are bringing life into our midst. In your good and joyous name we pray, amen.
