Lord, restore our fortunes, restore what has been lost, broken, and held captive. Let the world look upon our lives and see Your goodness, that they might declare, “The Lord has done great things for them.”
Fill our mouths with laughter and our hearts with songs of joy. Make fruitful what has been barren. Bridge the gap between what Your Word promises and what we see in the natural. Help us to trust You in the waiting, to remain faithful in the planting, and to believe that what seems impossible is not beyond Your power.
Remind us that although we sow in tears, we will reap with shouts of joy. Let us not lose heart, but hold fast to Your promises, knowing that You are faithful to bring forth a harvest in Your perfect time.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
