"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
That has to be one of the most powerful and encouraging scriptures for me. Even though I am very strong in my faith and I know the Lord is real and He is with me, I get scared. The not knowing can be very stressful. I plead to the Lord for some mercy so I can continue waiting upon Him without growing weary. It helps to be reminded that the Lord has me in the palm of His hand or as someone said, "His arms are around me". We may not know why things are happening or why He has us waiting so long for our answer but I know He hears our cries and I know He knows our hearts. Therefore we must be still and remain in His will until He reveals to us His desires for us. What choice do we have? The alternative is not the way to go. We must declare Jeremiah 29:11 on our lives and declare victory on our lives. I know it is easier said then done but we must take each day as it comes with joy and expectation. Keeping this promise in our hearts all the way;"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." Ephesians 3:20
