18. Among all the children she bore
there was none to guide her;
among all the children she reared
there was none to take her by the hand.

who can comfort you? —
ruin and destruction, famine and sword —
who can console you?

Gracious Heavenly Father, man turns to his own way, to his error and evil consequence. Forgive us our sins, turn our hearts to thee, fill us with thy Holy Spirit, grant us wisdom, understanding, and give us eyes to see thy grace, mercy, loving kindness, compassion, and righteousness. It is all around us ever. We praise thee, in joy and hope, and peace. We look to thee for our good. We pray for the peace of Israel, Jerusalem, for the persecuted believers. and for the lost. Bless Israel, the leaders, the people, and protect them amid the turmoil in Israel. Keep us in thy favor and help us to do thy will, in Jesus name, amen.
