Read

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.

(Habakkuk 3:17-18)

Pray

Dear God,

You are my strength and my hope, even when my circumstances seem hopeless. Even if the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, even if the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, even if there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, I will still praise You. You are the source of my joy and my salvation, and I trust in Your provision and faithfulness in all things.

Help me to keep my eyes on You and to find contentment in You alone, regardless of my circumstances. Your love and grace sustain me, and I know that You are always with me, guiding and protecting me. I surrender my worries and fears to You, and I choose to rejoice in Your goodness and mercy. Thank You for Your unending love and for being my strength in all things.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
