“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

☕Some mornings start with coffee and sunshine. Others begin with questions and cloudy skies. But through it all—on the good days, the hard days, and all the messy ones in between—Jeremiah 29:11 speaks life into our weary hearts. God knows the plans He has for us. And even when we don’t know what’s coming next, we can choose optimism—not because everything is perfect, but because we trust the One who is.

Optimism isn’t about ignoring pain or pretending things are okay when they’re not. It’s about anchoring our hearts in the promise that God is not finished. That He’s weaving something beautiful, even when we can’t see the full picture yet.

When life feels uncertain, Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that God’s plans are rooted in love, hope, and purpose. He’s not improvising. He’s intentional. And He promises not just any future, but a hope-filled one.

💬So if you’re in a season of waiting or walking through something heavy, let this verse be your whisper of encouragement today:
God hasn’t forgotten you.
There’s still beauty ahead.
And yes, you can look forward with hope.

🙏Today’s Prayer:
Lord, thank You for knowing the plans even when I don’t. Help me trade worry for wonder and fear for faith. Teach me to wake up each day with expectation—not in what I can control, but in what You’ve promised. Fill my heart with a steady, grounded optimism. Amen.

What’s one area in your life where you’re choosing to trust God’s plan, even when you can’t see the outcome?

Happy Sunday,

Natalie🙏
