Jer 14:7-9 | MHM | STEP | v. 7–9 : Jeremiah prays for the people. He admits, Our iniquities testify against us —their sins are obvious and cannot be denied. He asks God to act, not because they deserve it, but for your name's sake . He pleads, Leave us not —the people fear losing God’s presence more than anything else. Jeremiah reminds God that He is the hope of Israel and has always saved His people in times of trouble. He asks why God seems distant, like a stranger in the land or a mighty man who cannot save (Jeremiah 14:7–9 ). Jeremiah is more worried about God’s reputation among the nations than his own comfort. He pleads for God to remember His people and act for the sake of His great name.
