God’s present and future plans are always for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope! (Jeremiah 29:11 HCSB) The Hebrew translation for welfare is shalom meaning, “peace,” complete state of well-being; fulfillment, happiness and prosperity.” When we’re faced with situations too difficult to handle or explain, we need to remind ourselves that God said, “I know the plans I have for you.” It’s crystal clear that God wants us to have a good life. Not only can you enjoy life every day, but you can discover the potential within you and release it for a better life. (1 John 4:4, John 10:10) I encourage you to trust God and believe that He’s at work in your life; believe God is working everything out for your good and His glory! (Proverbs 3:5, Romans 8:28) “ I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future !” (Jeremiah 29:11) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, no matter how I feel at this moment ...

Your grapes will not fall from the vine before they are ripe…” (Malachi 3:11 NLT) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, today I choose to trust You, I choose to put all faith and all hope in you, knowing that You are good and You have good things in store for my future!

In order to move forward into the greatness God has for you, never get comfortable where you are. Why? It’s temporary and it reveals the greatness of God within you! (2 Corinthians 4:17 GWT, 1 John 4:4) It’s always a good practice to live with expectancy that your atmosphere and all of your surroundings are getting ready to change for the better! (Jeremiah 29:11) At any moment, God can change your long expected prayer for your good, if you will only believe! (John 20:29, Ephesians 3:19-20 Mark 9:23) I encourage you to endure until the end; God has a greater anointing, greater peace and greater favor awaiting you!

Whatever the conditions we face, we have predetermined victory over satan, because the Holy Spirit (God) in us, is greater than anything or anyone in this world!

Don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes!

None of the worrying made the circumstances better. In every situation of life, God is already working creatively, purposely and redemptively for our good and for His Glory! (Romans 8:28) I encourage you to trust in the LORD with all of our heart, and do not rely on our own understanding, see through the lens of spiritual discipline the advantages God has given you of greater peace, greater favor and a greater anointing!
