**Jeremiah 14:9** — *"Yet You are among us, O LORD, and we are called by Your name. Do not forsake us!"*
Drought had cracked the ground. Cisterns were empty. And Israel, desperate, prayed words that sound almost like an accusation — *Why do You seem powerless?* — before catching themselves and landing on covenant: *Yet You are among us.*
This is honest faith. Not the polished kind that pretends silence from heaven doesn't sting. The prophet doesn't retreat into stoic endurance — he presses into the Name. *We are called by Your name.* That belonging becomes the argument before God.
Scripture reminds us that lament and trust are not opposites. Psalm 22:24 confirms it — God has *"not hidden His face"* even when it feels that way.
When the ground beneath you goes dry, the covenant name you carry is not a title. It is an anchor.
Walk with that today.
