David and Jeremiah had quite contrasting things to say about Jerusalem. She went from “The perfection of beauty; Joy of the whole earth,” to being rejected and abandoned. The reason: the sins of her people.

“If my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves and prayer … I will heal their land.” 2 Chron. 7:14

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, hear our prayer and heal our land. Forgive us of our sins. Cleanse us with a great sweeping revival.

DAILY READING: Lamentations 1,2
