Spiritual Practices: Breath Prayer
Overview
Jeremiah's primary message is one of judgment. God is judging his people for walking away from him. One of the key issues is identified here in verse 22 when God says that his people do not know him. They didn't know his heart, they didn't know his character, this didn't know his will or his desires. Because they didn't know him, they walked away from him and from his plan for them. They pursued other god's and their own selfish desires, which ultimately lead to all manner of sin and harm. If they had just known God, pursued a relationship with God, gone deeper in their understanding of him and their desire to follow him, none of this would have happened. It is the same for us. They key thing in life is to know him.
Prayer
Abba Father, help us to know you
