Yes—and Psalm 84 tells us “......when they go through the Bitter Valley, they make it a place of springs."

"Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee...." [Psalm 84, KJV]

Thank you so much, Running on Empty, for the citation of Psalm 84! It is marvelously on-point here....

[Tax-chick]

Or in the RSV,

Blessed are the men whose strength is in Thee, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
As they go through the Valley of Bekaa, they make it place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools.
They go from strength to strength; the God of gods will be seen in Zion.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you both so very much for the beautiful Scriptures!
