When Jeremiah was in prison, the Lord came to him with His promise that all would be well in the end. Surely, that cheered him, and Jeremiah leaned heavily on the Word of God, Jer. 15:16.
As we journey through this life, we often find ourselves in what can only be described as prisons.
We can find hope and comfort in our prison by leaning on the promises of God.
Jeremiah 32:27 Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
No matter what kind of situation we face, we can rest in the promise that our God can handle it. Nothing is too hard for Him.

“Learning to lean — Learning to lean, — I'm learning to lean on Jesus. — Finding more power than I've ever dreamed, — I'm learning to lean on Jesus.
“Sad broken hearted, at an alter I knelt, — I found peace that was so serene. — And all that He asks is a child like trust — And a heart that is learning to lean.
“There's a glorious victory, each day now for me — I've found peace so serene. — He helps me with each task, If I'll only ask — Everyday now I'm learning to lean
“Learning to lean, — Learning to lean. — I'm learning to lean on Jesus. — Finding more power than I've ever dreamed, — I'm learning to lean on Jesus.”
