Jeremiah 29:11 "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."

Does something bad ever happen to you, and if you're a Christian, you might think, 'Why would God do something like this to me?" If you don't have a relationship with Jesus, you think, 'wow, I have really bad luck." Don't get angry with God or anyone else for something bad happening to you, or something being taken away from you. God assures us he has a plan, and with something bad comes something even more amazing. God doesn't take something away without replacing it with something better or even more beneficial.

I know sometimes it feels like nothing is going right in your life- like you're always going to be stuck in this rut. Don't panic! I have felt the same exact way many times. Someone who was very special to me and I thought would be in my life forever walked out of it. I thought my world was ending. I constantly questioned God and his choices. I was pissed at him. But as time went on, I realized I didn't need that person. I didn't deserve the way that person treated me, and no matter how badly I wanted them in my life, I knew they weren't right for me. God has blessed me with more amazing things than I could ever ask for since then. Jeremiah 29:11 is and always has been my favorite bible verse. It constantly reminds me that no matter how bad something is, there's a reason behind it, that God has a plan more extraordinary than I could ever think up for myself.

Don't give up on God! You have no idea what he has in store for you, and I can promise he won't let you down.
