14 Prayers for a Widow's Journey

DAY 3 OF 14

...to give you a future...

Lord, right now I don’t want a future. I want my past. I want my husband. I want our life together. In memory, it glows golden. Beckoning. And I want it!

Of course I know it wasn’t perfect. We had our bad days, our hard times. I also know I can’t have it back no matter how I yearn for it. Part of my longing to go back is because I’m uncertain, even afraid of what lies ahead. But ahead lies the opportunity to trust in You to give me a fulfilling future. Ahead lie Your plans. Ahead lies life.

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
