HOPE & FUTURE

As a follower of Jesus, all of our struggles don’t instantly disappear. Actually, Jesus reminded us that in this world we’re going to have trouble. But the truth is that God’s plans for you and me are for good; always for good.

Even in seasons where we’re facing difficulty, God is actively using that to strengthen your life and bring you even closer to himself. Here is a key verse to hold onto during tough times:

While Jesus said that in this world you’ll have trouble, just before that statement in John 16:33 he says, “In me, you may have peace.” The only place to find that peace and hope for the future is in Jesus. The instability of the world around is often due to trying to find peace in changing circumstances. Don’t put your future in the hands of changing circumstances like careers, health, and governments, but put your trust in Jesus and his word.

PRAYER

Lord, thank you for the incredibly good plans that you have for my life. In each and every circumstance I’ll choose to trust your good nature and your ability to work all things for my good. Amen
