Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness, come before Him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God; It is He who made us, and we are His. We are His people, the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the Lord is good, and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations. ~Psalm 100

  • Even though I am weary. Yet will I praise Him.
  • Even though I am tired. Yet will I praise Him.
  • Even though I don't understand. Yet will I praise Him.
  • Even though His ways don't make sense right now. Yet will I praise Him

  • Even though we only have one car - still. Yet will I praise Him
  • Even though my house is a disaster. Yet will I praise Him
  • Even though I feel my dreams slipping away. Yet will I praise Him.
  • Even though I can't change my circumstances. Yet will I praise Him
  • Even though I can't change who I am, though I wish I could. Yet will I praise Him.
  • Even though...Yet will I praise Him

Even though the fig trees have no blossom, 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.
~Habakkuk 3:17-19
