Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) says:

> “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.”

What it really teaches:
This verse reminds us that God’s plans are always purposeful, even when life feels uncertain or difficult. Spoken originally to the Israelites in exile, it assured them that God had not abandoned them — He was still working for their ultimate good and restoration in His perfect timing.

For believers today, it teaches that God is sovereign and loving — He sees the bigger picture, and His plans aim to give us hope, peace, and a meaningful future rooted in faith and trust in Him.

One-sentence encouragement:
🌿 Even when life feels uncertain, trust that God’s plan is filled with hope, purpose, and His faithful love. ✨
