Yet I Will Rejoice in the Lord

Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. -Hab 3:17-18
This verse jumped at me today because I feel this describes my situation right now. Having a house that won't sell, I feel cut off from the fold with no church home, I don't have my usual network of friends to gain strength and encouragement.....it's a challenging time in my life. Yet I will rejoice in the LORD. It's hard, and it's an act of faith that I have to talk myself into, but I will rejoice.

Please pray for both my heart to continue to rejoice during trials and for the trials to end, primarily for our house to sell.
