Loving Father, who cares for your children, redeem the time of suffering that we have endured, that even destruction might be turned to new life and pain would be transformed into joy, through Jesus our example, who endured the cross but now lives in joy forever with you and the Holy Spirit above. Amen.
‘I will repay you for the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army that I sent against you.’ – Joel 2:25
