we are trees

This is what the LORD says: "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength
and whose heart turns away from the LORD.
He will be like a bush in the wastelands;
he will not see prosperity when it comes.
He will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives.

"But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.

He will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
(Jeremiah 17:5-8)

Let us pray today and thank our God that He makes us like trees by the water.
That He is the one who grounds us deep.
He is the one who makes our leaves green (and enables them to serve as healing! -Ezekiel 47:12)
He is the one that carries us through drought and He is the One that bears fruit through our lives.

Let's pray for the beloved children who are suffering injustices today.
Let's pray for God's people to rise up and speak on their behalf.
Let's thank God for the work He is doing in the world- and in our hearts.
Lord, we put our confidence in YOU today!
