Jeremiah 48
Jeremiah 48:7 Father just as Moab and it’s national god Chemosh was taken captive because the people put their trust in wealth and skills. Please help us not to put our trust in wealth and skills but only in You and your love for us.
Jeremiah 48:10 Lord, let me never refuse to do the work You give me, or to do it half –heartedly or cowardly even when it seems strange or puzzling to me. I see those who were called to be God’s instruments of chastening upon Moab were to be blessed in their work if they did it honestly and boldly; but if they did it half-heartedly and cowardly they would be cursed.
Jeremiah 48:27 Father, take away any attitude that we may have of looking down on others. When we in anyway mock those that are weaker than we are, burn our conscience with the knowledge that ridiculing others is a prideful act. Save us from such pride.

Jeremiah 49:15 Lord, cut down to size all those who boast of their intelligence and abilities, including me.
Jeremiah 49:19 Father God, I praise You because there is none like You; no one can challenge You or oppose Your will.
Jeremiah 49:31 Lord, help me to be responsible in all I do but save me from a prideful sense of self-sufficiency.
Jeremiah 49:36 Lord, I praise You because nations come and go, but You are eternal. What confidence and comfort that gives me in this transient world.
