“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

— Jeremiah 29:11

01 / Notice

Reflection

Jeremiah wrote to a community living in exile, facing a long wait rather than a quick rescue. God had not forgotten them. This promise is not a timetable for our plans to succeed. It gives us room to pray, love our neighbours, and look for God's faithfulness while the outcome is still unclear.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I trust Your plans for me. When the path is unclear, remind me that You have a future and a hope for me. Help me to seek You with all my heart. Amen.
