I Choose to Believe in a Better Future
“‘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.’” (Jeremiah 29:11, NIV)
Teaching:
- Faith in God gives us hope in times of uncertainty.
Although current circumstances may seem difficult, our faith in God allows us to look beyond the present and trust that He has a plan for our future. His promise of well-being and hope motivates us to keep moving forward, knowing that He is in control and that His plan is perfect, even when we don’t fully understand it. - God has a purpose for each of us.
Sometimes we face moments of discouragement and doubt, but we must remember that God has a specific purpose for our lives. He not only sees our present circumstances but also the future He has prepared for us. Our job is to trust in that purpose and walk in faith, knowing that what we are living has meaning in God’s plan. - Faith gives us the strength to overcome difficulties.
Believing in a better future does not mean we won’t face difficulties. In fact, Jesus warned us that we would have troubles in this world. However, our faith gives us the strength to face these difficulties with hope and determination. We know that through trials, God is shaping us, preparing us for the future He has reserved for us. - Our hope in God inspires us to take action.
Believing in a better future is not just a passive attitude; it is an active decision to trust in God and work toward that future. Faith moves us to be agents of change in the world, showing God’s love to others and contributing to making this world a better place. Through our actions, we reflect the hope we have in a future full of God’s promises. - God assures us of a future filled with hope.
God’s plan is always filled with hope, no matter the circumstances. When we trust in Him, we are assured that our future is in His hands. This confidence gives us peace and allows us to live with a broader vision, knowing that our destiny is secure in His love and care.

Think about it:
- What sometimes keeps you from believing in a better future, and how can you trust more in God’s plans for your life?
- How can you remember the purpose God has for you when you face challenges and difficulties?
- In what ways can you be an agent of hope and faith in the lives of others, showing that you trust in the future God has promised?
