But now the Lord says: Be strong, Zerubbabel. Be strong, Jeshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people still left in the land. And now get to work, for I am with you, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
- Haggai 2:4

Lord, carry Your people in the courage to take up the work You have given us, however discouraged we may feel. Anchor us in the promise that You are with us - and that Your presence is what makes the work worth doing.
