Hope for the Future

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD. “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV)

Father, I am so comforted and assured to know that You know the plans for my life, because when I think of the future, it’s easy to be anxious from all the unknowns. I don’t know how problems of today will turn out for tomorrow, but You do, and I trust You. Your wellspring of mercy and spirit of grace are in my heart and evident in my life; I will not be afraid. My hope remains steadfast in You and no other. In Jesus’ name my lips shall praise. Amen.
