2019 Recommitment Lectionary: Persistence in Adversity

Joy abandons me. There is no cure for my grief. My heart is sick…. The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved….
O that my head were a spring of water and my eyes a fountain of tears, so that I might weep day and night for my poor people…. The Holy One says, Build houses to live in; plant gardens and eat what they grow….Seek the welfare of the city….Pray to the Holy One on its behalf, for in its welfare, you will find yours.

Jeremiah 8:18,20, 9:10 and 29:5,7
