Yes, the LORD will give

             what is good,

and our land will

       yield its increase.

Righteousness will go before Him,

   and make His footsteps a way.

                    Psalm 85. 13

(The two words

       faithful and fruitful

are seamlessly woven.

When we align our hearts

                     with God's,

when we are faithful to Him,

   no matter the circumstances,

God brings His fruitfulness

     in unlikely places

     and in unexpected ways.

God goes before us

    --even through this wilderness--

and makes His footsteps a way.

    He shows us how to navigate.

"Direct it to Me.")

O LORD,

Help us to not grow weary

               in doing good,

in staying faithful

               in hard places,

in following You

    when the way is difficult.

You bring Your fruitfulness

      to our work

      and to Your way in this.

You bring Your peace

         right in the midst.

May we be energized by You

   and know great joy

                in loving You.

Even in the dark places,

    You bring Your light.

Go with us

             even through this.
