Jeremiah 14:19-22 Have you completely rejected Judah? Do you hate Zion? Why have you mortally wounded us? We look for peace, but nothing good comes of it; for a time of healing, only to be terrorized.
We acknowledge our sin, Lord, the wrongdoing of our ancestors, because we have sinned against you. For your name's sake, don't reject us, don't scorn your glorious throne. Remember your covenant with us;don't break it. Can any of the false gods of the nations make it rain? Can the sky by itself bring showers?
Aren't you the Lord our God? You are our hope, since only you can do such things.
Psalm 27:7-13 Lord, listen to my voice when I cry out—have mercy on me and answer me! Come, my heart says, seek God's face. Lord, I do seek your face! Don't push your servant aside angrily—you have been my help! God who saves me, don't neglect me! Don't leave me all alone! Even if my father and mother left me all alone, the Lord would take me in. Lord, teach me your way; because of my opponents, lead me on a good path.
Don't give me over to the desires of my enemies, because false witnesses and violent accusers have taken their stand against me. But I have sure faith that I will experience the Lord's goodness in the land of the living!
Romans 7:21-25 For I find that, as a rule, when I want to do what is good, evil is right there with me. I gladly agree with the Law on the inside, but I see a different law at work in my body. It wages a war against the law of my mind and takes me prisoner with the law of sin that is in my body. I'm a miserable human being. Who will deliver me from this dead corpse? Thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then I'm a slave to God's Law in my mind, but I'm a slave to sin's law in my body.
Mark 8:15-21 He gave them strict orders: “Watch out and be on your guard for the yeast of the Pharisees as well as the yeast of Herod.” The disciples discussed this among themselves, “He said this because we have no bread.” Jesus knew what they were discussing and said, “Why are you talking about the fact that you don't have any bread? Don't you grasp what has happened? Don't you understand? Are your hearts so resistant to what God is doing? Don't you have eyes? Why can't you see? Don't you have ears? Why can't you hear? Don't you remember? When I broke five loaves of bread for those five thousand people, how many baskets full of leftovers did you gather?” They answered, “Twelve.” “And when I broke seven loaves of bread for those four thousand people, how many baskets full of leftovers did you gather?” They answered, “Seven.” Jesus said to them, ”And you still don't understand?”
