so i decided to start praying with a fervor right?
well, today = day 1. haha.
while i was praying, the Lord gave me this verse...
it's from Jerehmiah 30.

11 I am with you and will save you,'
       declares the LORD.
       'Though I completely destroy all the nations
       among which I scatter you,
       I will not completely destroy you.
       I will discipline you but only with justice;
       I will not let you go entirely unpunished.'

12 "This is what the LORD says:
       " 'Your wound is incurable,
       your injury beyond healing.

13 There is no one to plead your cause,
       no remedy for your sore,
       no healing for you.

14 All your allies have forgotten you;
       they care nothing for you.
       I have struck you as an enemy would
       and punished you as would the cruel,
       because your guilt is so great
       and your sins so many.

15 Why do you cry out over your wound,
       your pain that has no cure?
       Because of your great guilt and many sins
       I have done these things to you.

16 " 'But all who devour you will be devoured;
       all your enemies will go into exile.
       Those who plunder you will be plundered;
       all who make spoil of you I will despoil.

17 But I will restore you to health
       and heal your wounds,'
       declares the LORD,
       'because you are called an outcast,
       Zion for whom no one cares.'

18 "This is what the LORD says:
       " 'I will restore the fortunes of Jacob's tents
       and have compassion on his dwellings;
       the city will be rebuilt on her ruins,
       and the palace will stand in its proper place.

19 From them will come songs of thanksgiving
       and the sound of rejoicing.
       I will add to their numbers,
       and they will not be decreased;
       I will bring them honor,
       and they will not be disdained.

yes. i'm excited. :-) the fulfillment of this promise is near. i can feel it :)
