This episode deals with the all too familiar situation known as "No good deed goes unpunished". The prophet Jeremiah was faithful in delivering God's message of truth to His people, yet his earthly reward was hearing of his countrymen plotting to take his life! Jeremiah turned to God in despair and complained bitterly, to the point of asking for harsh judgement to come upon his enemies. Chad ruminates on this deeply emotional passage and offers compassionate words of hope for us all, based entirely upon the loving character of our God. Colin Heinrich sings a beautiful and peaceful lament entitled "Hear me, Lord".

Lyrics to "Hear me, Lord"
Sometimes pain
Can strike like a rod
And cleanse like a fire
And turn me to God
When revenge
Is hurting myself
It acts like a fever
And breaks down my health
Waiting, trusting to rest in Your love
Waiting, trusting to rest in Your love
Chorus:
Hear me Lord
I hear my enemies speak
Hear me Lord
For I am weak
Hear me Lord
This cross is too heavy to bear
Hear me Lord
Receive my prayer
They dig a pit
With snares for my feet
They plot out smy ruin
Prepare my defeat
Only You
Hold my future secure
I cannot change them
Or fill them with fear
Waiting, trusting to rest in Your love
Waiting, trusting to rest in Your love
Chorus:
Hear me Lord
I hear my enemies speak
Hear me Lord
For I am weak
Hear me Lord
This cross is too heavy to bear
Hear me Lord
Receive my prayer
