Reflect on this part of the Bible at the end of your day
and Pray with rejoicing in response to our God – for His good gifts to you

Even though the fig trees have no fruit
and no grapes grow on the vines,
even though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no grain,
even though the sheep all die
and the cattle stalls are empty,
I will still be joyful and glad,
because the LORD God is my saviour.
The Sovereign LORD gives me strength.
He makes me sure-footed as a deer
and keeps me safe on the mountains

In Jesus’ name, Amen!
