"'O Sovereign LORD! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you! You show unfailing love to thousands, but you also bring the consequences of one generation's sin upon the next. You are the great and powerful God, the LORD of Heaven's Armies. You have all wisdom and do great and mighty miracles. You see the conduct of all people, and you give them what they deserve.' "'I am the LORD, the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for me?'"
When Jeremiah prayed, he focused on who God is and what he has done, putting his recent actions—buying the field—into the perspective of God's dealings in the past. When you pray, do you do that? First focus on God—who he is and what he has done—and then express your current reality in light of those things. Try it! And notice that when God answered Jeremiah, he mirrored part of Jeremiah's prayer, affirming that indeed nothing is too hard for him. Remember that especially!
