Hi friends, this is Mary Demuth and this is Pray Every Day where I pray you through the Bible verse by verse with joy and intention and so much inside of me that just wants to impart the Word of God to you. And I also consider it a privilege to be able to pray for you today. I want to pray right now for someone who has lost a grandparent. And Lord Jesus,

I pray for my friend who's lost a grandparent. That is a very hard loss. Grandparents are often

the people that are totally for us and are always on our side. And so I just pray for that grief.

And I thank you that you understand loss. You're a man of sorrows acquainted with grief and you grieve alongside my friend who's carrying this heavy weight.

So lift it a little bit today, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

Okay, just a little housekeeping.

Today is episode 2,915.

Wow, let that sink in. I cannot believe it. That means we're racing toward 3,000 episodes,

which is crazy. And if you'd like to celebrate the eighth year of pray every day, you can go to

marry demute.com slash pray, and please record a message. I know it's scary, but it would really

encourage Kristen and William and I to hear how this ministry has

blessed you. So thanks again for doing that. Today I'm reading from Jeremiah chapter 46 versus 1 through 12,

and this is what it says. Yahweh's word came, which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the

nations of Egypt, concerning the nations of Egypt,

concerning the army of Pharaoh,

Nekko, king of Egypt,

which was by the river Euphrates and Karchimish,

which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon,

struck in the fourth year of Joachim,

the son of Josiah, king of Judah.

Prepare the buckler and shield and draw near to battle.

Harness the horses and get up, you horsemen, and stand up with your helmets.
