“This prayer was sung by the prophet Habakkuk:
I have hear all about you, Lord. I am filled with the awe by Your amazing works. I n this time of our deep need, hep us again as You did in years gone by. And in Your anger, remember Your mercy.
I see God moing across the deserts from Edom, the Holy One from Mount Paran. His brilliant splendor fills the heavens, and the earth is filled with His praise. His coming is as brilliant as the sunrise. Rays of light flash from His hands, where His awesome power is hidden. When He stops, the earth shakes. When he looks, the nations tremble. He shatters the everlasting mountains and levels the eternal hills. He is the Eternal One!” (vv. 1-6, NLT)
“Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! The Sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights.” (vv. 17-19, NLT)
