Calm and Refreshment

Jeremiah is the praying prophet preeminently. The prayer is not always prayer for guidance and help,
although the confused conditions of the age offered abundant scope for that. It is in the main prayer
for relief and unburdening of soul, such as derives from the simple drawing near to God medicine
and solace.

It is the kind of prayer that so instinctively takes for its keynote the phrase, “Thou
knowest Lord” (12:3; 15:15; 17:16: 18:23), showing to how large an extent the prayer-attitude was
one of supreme confidence of the prophet in God. The prophet would have no secrets from Jehovah.
And the mere pouring into the ears of God the disquietudes of the heart would bring calm and
refreshment.
