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. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
Gracious God and Heavenly Father,
It is such a comfort to know that you have a purpose for us and that you want to bless us and not harm us. You want us to live in hope and to look forward to a future with you here and now and in our eternal home when we leave this earth. You desire a loving relationship with us and we can find you when we truly seek you. Teach us to love you with our whole hearts and to live in love and gratitude for your tender care of us. All glory be to you, our creator, redeemer and friend.
In Christ’s name. AMEN
