Jeremiah Prays During the Great Droughtby emmanuel_higgins

Jeremiah 14:9

Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.

In a season of deep trouble Israel pleaded with the Lord not to forsake them for the reason that His name had been placed upon them. To be called by God's name marks a people as belonging to Him and claimed as His own. It is as natural and close as children bearing the name of their father. That honored name and the belonging it declares is the rightful inheritance of everyone who follows Christ.
