LAMENTATIONS I have cried until tears no longer come;
The faithful love of the LORD never ends!
His mercies never cease.
Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.
Lamentations 3:22-23
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely
with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow
with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
my heart is broken.
My spirit is poured out in agony
as I see the desperate plight of my people.
Little children and tiny babies
are fainting and dying in the streets.
They cry out to their mothers,
"We need food and drink!"
Their lives ebb away in the streets
like the life of a warrior wounded in battle.
They gasp for life
as they collapse in their mothers' arms.
I have cried until tears no longer come; my heart is broken.

for the enemy has conquered us."

"LORD, see my anguish!
My heart is broken
and my soul despairs,

In the street the sword kills,
and at home there is only death." (see all Lamentations 1)
Lamentations 3:48-51
Tears stream from my eyes
because of the destruction of my people!
My tears flow endlessly;
they will not stop
until the LORD looks down
from heaven and sees.
My heart is breaking
over the fate of all the women of Jerusalem.

and the roar of their battle cries. (see Jeremiah 4:19-22)

My life is poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint.

melting within me. (see all Psalm 22)

Rise during the night and cry out.
Pour out your hearts like water to the Lord.
Lift up your hands to him in prayer,
pleading for your children,
for in every street
they are faint with hunger.

stick to the roofs of their mouths in thirst.
