Confidence in the Future

"For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you."

— Jeremiah 29:11

God of hope,

The future sometimes worries me. So many uncertainties, unanswered questions, paths not yet traced. I would like guarantees that everything will be fine.

Give me confidence in the future. Not the certainty that everything will be easy, but the confidence that I will be able to face what comes. That You will be there, that I will not be alone, that I have the necessary resources.

May I move forward without knowing the whole road, take the next step in trust, build the future day by day. The future is not something that happens; it is something I create.

Amen.

Reflection

What fear of the future paralyzes you? How could you trust a little more today?

For all those who fear the future and need confidence.
