‘He Has Decided Firmly Not To Marry.’
1 Corinthians 7:37-38.
a) He has no compulsion to marry.
b) He has made up his mind and has complete control over his will.
c) He does well not to marry.
d) Both the man who marries and the man who does not marry do well.
(This QT gives me the motivation to pray for and respect the man who says that He Has Decided Firmly Not To Marry, whether it is a temporary decision or a permanent one)

‘Compelled To Pray.’
Jeremiah 8:20-22.
a) Jeremiah 8:20. Harvest is past and the summer is over and yet the Lord’s people are still not saved.
b) Jeremiah 8:21. Jeremiah cares about the condition of God’s People:-
1- He weeps for their hurt.
2- He is stunned.
3- He is silent.
4- He is mute with grief.
c) Jeremiah 8:22. There is no:-
1- Medicine.
2- Physician.
3- Healing.

Chris.
Do we weep for the hurts of God’s People. There are so many hurting people in the churches. There are people whose marriages are breaking or broken, people who have been hurt or offended by other church people and people who cannot trust their leaders any more. Let us have hearts to pray for these people, then surely we will weep for their hurts.
