If Habakkuk were around, I think he would send us the following message:

Even if lockdowns continue…
Even if I don’t return to work soon…
Even if I don’t understand the decisions made by the authorities…
Even if vaccines remain doubtful and dangerous…
Even if the fight against the virus continues…
Even if politicians continue to embezzle resources…
Even if resources are becoming scarce…
Even if there is no forecast as to the end of the pandemic…
Even if everything is taking a while to return to “normal”…
Even if there are many ‘IFs’…

“…Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, and He will make me walk on my high hills.” Habakkuk 3:17-19
