Whenever I have been in prayer, the LORD gives me such encouragement to keep me lifted in hope and peace. One Scripture that HE has reminded me is of Jeremiah 29:11
GOD'S WORD® Translation
I know the plans that I have for you, declares the LORD. They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope.
In many translations, this passage states, "declares the LORD". This is a strong word used, even if you don't know the Hebrew text, it is strong as though the LORD were standing right next to you, with HIS hands on your shoulders, looking in your eyes, and saying these words as an emotional imperative. HE is saying that HIS plans are laid out and HE knows HE is going to bring those plans into action.
What plans? These are the well thought out deeds to help us in our walk to not stumble, avoid temptation, create barriers against the demons that come to haunt, and to guide you to all places in HIS kingdom to ensure that you are well protected, watched over, and cherished.
We know that our LORD is a jealous GOD and nothing will come in HIS way of keeping you safe and protected. Nothing can separate us from HIM. Yes, even us!
Bless the LORD oh my soul!
