WEEK 21 The prophet Jeremiah had a powerful prayer life. God heard his accurate description of God’s great power, and in response and affirmation to Jeremiah, God repeated the very words back to him. Jeremiah was giving God honor and true worship in his prayer. God enjoyed Jeremiah’s trust and faith in his prayer, and it honored God and blessed Jeremiah.
Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for You. Jeremiah 32:17
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, 'Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?' Jeremiah 32:26-27. "Prayer is not the key to our requests before God. Rather, it is God who works His power through our prayer life that is the key."

A good lesson for us is to remember to honor God in our prayers by affirming His attributes and thanking Him for life and ministry.
