Jeremiah 29:11 Sunday, 2 August 2026

God's Plan for Your Life is Good

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. {expected...: Heb. end and expectation}

— Jeremiah 29:11

As we navigate the ups and downs of life, it's easy to get caught up in worries and doubts about our future. But today's verse in Jeremiah reminds us that God is always thinking about us with thoughts of peace, not evil. He has a plan to give us an expected end, a sense of purpose and direction that brings us hope and joy. Take a deep breath and remember that God's plan is better than yours.

Prayer

Dear God, thank you for your plan of peace and purpose for my life. Help me to trust in your goodness and guidance, even when I don't understand what's next. Give me a sense of hope and joy that comes from knowing you're always thinking of me with love.
