Tag: <span>drought</span>


Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green and they never stop producing fruit.Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NLT)

As we release our cares to the Lord and as we continue to grow in trusting Him daily, we can expect results.

God’s Word is clear about what happens when we trust Him. When our roots go down deep, when we believe He is our hope, and when we put our confidence in His strength to carry us, He promises that we will remain fruitful and green — even when there is drought all around us. What a picture!

As we walk through our days with confident expectation in the Lord, we will feel His blessing and His calm in our hearts. Our circumstances may remain challenging, yet…

His strength will steady us,
His comfort will touch us,
His peace will wash over us,
His presence will encase us,
His wisdom will guide us,
And His love will surround us.

Feast your heart and mind on all He is today. Your roots will draw water from a deep place and you will be blessed and refreshed.

Father God, life is full of cares and around me. There is drought of many kinds. Thank You that You are all I need. Thank You that You will guide me and shepherd me through the maze of life as I trust You with my whole heart. Increase my faith today as I trust You in and with the cares of my life. (Name them specifically). I thank You and pray this in the strong name of Jesus. Amen.

Prayer: Drought in our life

Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit”.  Jeremiah 17:7-8

Following after Jesus does not mean that Christians will never experience drought, desert times when the soul longs for green oases and overflowing wells. Weary from the pursuit of Saul, Shepherd King David cried out to God, “I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you in a dry and parched land where there is no water.”

But just as towels best absorb water when they are totally dry, so can our thirsty souls best absorb the water of life as we empty ourselves of sin and distractions, faithfully continue sitting in the presence of God, meditating on his words, awaiting the refreshing rain that will eventually come.

It’s easy to become preoccupied with the lack of spiritual moisture, to become “bothered by the heat and worried by long months of drought.” But we find comfort in the promise that even during these seemingly interminable times, God continues to produce fruit in and through us. A clue to living successfully through these times is given by David, “I will praise you as long as I live…with singing lips my mouth will praise you.” (Psalm 63) This is praise even in the desert, what one writer called the sacrifice of praise. A sacrifice accepted and honored by our Heavenly Father who knows best when to send rain.

Father, the drought seems long and the dryness deep. Help me endure by trusting in you, by claiming you as my hope and confidence.  Thank you, too, for producing fruit in and through me even when I don’t recognize the crop.
