Jeremiah 20:7-18 When Emotions Collide. Chris Lizotte sings "Open the Skies"

In this passage Jeremiah is enthusiastically praising God, then cursing the day he was born, then speaking as a warrior, then speaking fearfully. Chad understands and ruminates on this subject, then points us yet again to our certain hope, hope that is always present, even when we don't even know ourselves. Chris Lizotte sings a beautiful song entitled "Open the Skies".
