The word for “unsearchable” means something that is made inaccessible by fortifying it or enclosing it. Jeremiah 33:3, “3 'Call to me and I will answer you AND TELL YOU GREAT AND UNSEARCHABLE THINGS you do not know.” Slides) Psalm 50:15, “15 and call upon me in the day of trouble I will deliver you, and you will honor me." Psalm 91:15, “15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.” Jeremiah 29:12, “12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.” Our God always listens and answers whenever we call upon Him in prayer. That is why when we do journaling we can both pray and meditate. Prayer is when you talk to God and meditation is when God talk to us and we listen to Him.
We should not confuse prayer to meditation. Prayer is simply means talking to God and telling Him what’s in your heart, what do you want to communicate to God from your heart or anything you want Him to tell. God's promises are not to slacken (loosen, relax), but to quicken (get faster, speed up) the prayers of His people.

God challenged Jeremiah to Call to Him and God promised to answer by revealing great and unsearchable things. Jeremiah 33:3, “3 'CALL TO ME AND I WILL ANSWER YOU and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” From this text I would like to propose that when we call upon God in PRAYER then Prayer Changes Things.

renown, joy, praise, and honor to God before all nations. Third, the blessing will involve a Restoration to a Special Place of Honor Among the Nations (cf. God will cleanse the people from all their sin and forgive them of their rebellion. Second, the blessing will involve a Restoration to the Lord (cf. God will bring both Judah and Israel back from captivity. First, the blessing will involve a Restoration to the Land (cf. God spoke to Jeremiah about Three Elements of this Blessing. After the time of judgment God will someday bring health and healing to His city and people. (2) THE RESTORATION (33:6-13).The secret to understanding God’s seemingly contradictory prophecies of judgment and blessing is to realize that the judgment was to be only temporary. By revealing to Jeremiah that the LORD (Yahweh) is His name, God emphasized His covenant-keeping faithfulness on behalf of His people (cf. God again identified Himself to Jeremiah by stressing both His power and His character. Chapter 33 followed closely the message of chapter 32 as Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard (cf.
Chapter 33:1-13 speaks about the coming judgment (vv.
God then reaffirmed His covenants with David and with the Levitical priests (vv. Jeremiah 33:1-13 continued God’s promise of blessing as He reaffirmed both the coming destruction and the future restoration of Jerusalem.
