Prayers from Jeremiah

Updated: May 20

Jeremiah 1

Put Your words in our mouths. Set us over the nations and over the kingdoms.
Hasten Your Word to perform it.
Help us to prepare ourselves and arise, and speak to them all that You command us. Let us not be dismayed before any faces.
Make us fortified cities, iron pillars and bronze walls.
Let all who fight against us, not prevail against us. Be with us to deliver us.

Jeremiah 7

Help us to amend our ways and our doings, and not to trust in lying words. Help us to execute judgments, not to oppress strangers, orphans or widows, and not to walk after other gods to our own hurt.
Keep us from lying words that do not profit.

Jeremiah 9

Help us not to glory in wisdom or in might or in riches but only in that we understand and know You. Help us to understand and know You.
May we delight in the things in which You delight: loving kindness, judgment and righteousness

Jeremiah 15

Help us to return so that You will restore us, and so we will stand in Your presence.
Help us to speak words that are noble instead of worthless, so that we can be Your spokesmen. Let Your words be to us the food that we eat. Let Your words be unto us the joy and rejoicing oh our hearts.
Help us to turn to you, be with us to save us and deliver us from the hand of the wicked and redeem us from the grasp of the ruthless.

Jeremiah 17

Help us not to trust in mankind or to make mere flesh our strength - may we not turn our hearts from You.
Help us to trust in You and put our confidence in You.
Help us to be like trees planted by the water that send out its roots towards the stream.
May we not fear when the heat comes and may our leaves always be green.
May we not worry in the year of drought or cease to produce fruit.
May our hearts not be deceitful, and may our deeds receive a great reward from You
Help us not to abandon You or turn away.
Heal us, O LORD, and we will be healed, save us, and we will be saved, for You are our praise.
Be our refuge in the day of disaster - do not let us be put to shame and let us not be terrified.

Jeremiah 18

Cause us to hear Your words. As the clay is in the potter’s hand, so let us be in Your hand.
Help us to return from all our evil ways, and to make our ways and our doings good.
Help us not to forget You or to stumble in our ways.
Give heed to us, oh Lord, and listen to the voices of those who contend with us.

Jeremiah 20

Let Your word be in our hearts like a burning fire, shut up in our bones, that we will be weary of holding it back.
Be with us, as a mighty, awesome One. Let our persecutors stumble, and not prevail. Let them be greatly ashamed, for they will not prosper. Let their everlasting confusion never be forgotten.
Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For He has delivered the life of the poor from the hand of evildoers.

Jeremiah 23

Keep us from the prophets who steal Your words, every one from his neighbor. Keep us away from the prophets who use their tongues to lie. Keep us from the false prophets who prophesy false dreams and cause Your people to err by their lies and by their lightness. Keep us from the prophets You did not send, and who You did not command.

Jeremiah 24

Set Your eyes upon us for good, build us up and plant us again.
Give us a heart to know You, that You are The Lord, that we will be Your people and You will be our God.
Help us to return to You with all our hearts.

Jeremiah 31

Make a new covenant with us, by putting Your law in our inward parts and writing Your law on our hearts. Be our God and let us be Your people.
Help us to know You, forgive our iniquity and remember our sin no more.

Jeremiah 32

‘Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You. You show lovingkindness to thousands—the Great, the Mighty God, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
You are great in counsel and mighty in work, for Your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings.

Jeremiah 33

When we call to You, answer us and show us great and mighty things which we know not.
Bring us health and healing. Heal us and reveal to us the abundance of peace and truth.
Rebuild us and cleanse us from all our iniquity by which we have sinned against You, and pardon all our iniquities by which we have sinned and by which we have transgressed against You.
Let us be to You a name of joy, a praise, and an honor before all nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that You do to us, and shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that You provide for us.
Again there shall be heard in us the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of those who will say: “Praise the LORD of hosts, For the LORD is good, For His mercy endures forever”— and of those who will bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD.
Cause us to return as at the first and let the days come that You will perform that good thing which You have promised to us. Let us be saved, and let us dwell safely.
Cause us to return from all captivity, and have mercy on us.
