Even In Drought

 

Blessed is the man
who trusts in the LORD,
whose trust is the LORD.
He is like a tree
         planted by water
that sends out its roots
         by the stream,
and does not fear
   when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious
    in the year of drought,
for it does not cease
              to bear fruit.

         Jeremiah 17. 7-8

(No reason to fear,
no abyss of anxiety,
because we
       don't have to carry that.
God is sustaining us.
Trust Me in this.
He is the one
         who bears us up
and brings about the fruit
that endures
   long after our lifetimes.)

O LORD,
Help us to trust You
  even in drought.
Even in whatever
     we are going through.
Bring Your fruit through it
and Your glory all over it.
