Thus says the Lord: Cursed [with great evil] is the strong man who trusts in and relies on frail man, making weak [human] flesh his arm, and whose mind and heart turn aside from the Lord. For he shall be like a shrub or a person naked and destitute in the desert; and he shall not see any good come, but shall dwell in the parched places in the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land. [Most] blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit.

Prayer does change situations because God has made us partners with Him for the fulfillment of His purposes on earth.
There is no simple list of five steps to guard against disillusionment and cynicism, but we can sustain hope in serving Christ, even amid a barrage of bad news. This 5-day plan provides a refreshingly modern application of God's ancient invitation to His people, delivered through the prophet Jeremiah.
