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 a hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 NIV
For a while, I had to repeat this verse in my head on a hourly and daily basis. Life has settled down and things are going quite well - and I haven't had to "rinse and repeat" as much. I'm thankful for this - but I still find that, even when life is good, this verse is so comforting!!!
What is maybe even more comforting than claiming this verse as my LIFE verse, is claiming this verse for my children. Knowing that not only do I want the best for my children and not only do I want them to succeed in all aspects of their life - God does, too. He's always on their side. He'll always be their biggest cheerleader! He'll NEVER forsake them.
It's comforting to me to know that they will NEVER be alone.
I'm THANKFUL and PRAISE-FUL for this!!!!

One of my favorite verses too! Definitely a comfort in today's world..
Also, one of my favorite songs for comfort, especially when it comes to all my kids and grandkids facing the future is "Because He Lives"!
