"You came near when I called to you, you said, 'Don't be afraid.'" ~Lamentations 3:57, NCV
Jeremiah had a pretty rough prophethood. He was prophesying against Israel and for Babylon, which was not a very comfortable thing to be saying to a besieged city, let alone a beleaguered nation. In the lines leading up to this verse, Jeremiah is calling out to God "from the bottom of the pit." (verse 55)
Yea, and God came near and told him 'Don't be afraid.' sometimes if we need a little courage, all we have to do is ask for it. Ask and trust that God will provide a way, ask and believe He's coming and that He loves you, ask and know that your God is faithful and that He will take care of you.
