Opening Reflection
As we navigate the chaos of our world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and lose sight of hope. But today, we're reminded that God has a plan to prosper us, not to harm us.
Scripture Focus
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

In the midst of uncertainty, God's promise stands firm: He has a plan to bring hope and a future to our lives. Psalm 30:5 reminds us that His lovingkindness is better than life, and Romans 8:28 assures us that all things work together for our good. Isaiah 41:10 encourages us to fear not, for God is with us. As we hold onto this promise, we can trust that God's plan is always good, even when we can't see it.
