Prayer based on Jeremiah 46

Lord God Almighty, all nations are known to You. Lands devoted to idolatry cannot pretend that they do not know of Your great works of creation. Yet people everywhere are full of confidence in themselves. You are in charge of the affairs of every land. The warrior considers his own strength invincible, but a greater foe can come in a moment. Your people must not put their trust in the powers of this world. We trust in You. One nation may seem to have the strength to last forever, but that country will not stand in the day of her trouble. You, O Lord of hosts, will judge the rulers and idols of all nations. Give us hope in a better day, a hope that is secure not through the weapons of this world, but through Your divine power and love.
