Reviving Crushed Motivation

Daily writing promptWhat motivates you?View all responses

When I am being broken and downtrodden, and my motivation is being crushed I am motivated by a guy named Habakuk and His deep reliance on and trust in the Lord. Habakuk said:

Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
(Habakuk 3:17-18)

Lord, Like the group of Moravians on the ship in the life-threatening storm in the mid-Atlantic, even when I feel broken and crushed, I will sing Your praises with great hope, trust, and joy so that my life may touch and help to transform someone the way those Moravians touched and helped transform John Wesley. Lord Jesus, Christ in me my hope of glory, empower me to be faithful to You and to this prayer.
