In this poignant prayer we observe three major themes: Great Sin, Grave Discipline, and a Gracious God. In this text we read of the people's flagrant disobedience to the reveled will of God which resulted in severe discipline to the nation as is seen when Jerusalem was overrun by Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians in 587B.C., but we also see God's graciousness to his people in that he allowed a remnant to return to the land and rebuild the temple. In our day, we should be faithful to the Lord and keep all his commandments, repenting of sin no matter what it costs us. Yet we can take heart that even with all our sins, he is gracious to forgive us, restore us, and continue to use us for his glory.
