Hope in despair

In the midst of the worst possible circumstances, Jeremiah finds the only hope. Though the children of Jerusalem were starving to death and mothers were eating their young in desperation, Jeremiah finds hope. “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness, O God.” (Lam 3:22-23) How bad are your circumstances? Do they even begin to compare with the siege of Jerusalem? Can you say with Jeremiah, “The Lord is my inheritance, therefore I will hope in him.” (Lam 3:24)
