Selections from Lamentations 5

The prophet Jeremiah concludes his lament with a priestly prayer of confession as he recounts the sins of the nation. His prayer is a model for penitent sinners today. It is a deeply emotional prayer that lists the national treasures lost in the shipwreck of sin. One of the healthiest marks of maturity is to take responsibility for our wrongs. Jeremiah’s lesson is this: confess your sins with confidence. Stand firm on the ground of God’s immutable character, knowing that He will pardon the penitent sinner.
