One of my all-time faves that has sustained me through many ups and downs: "'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) When I have no idea what lies ahead and am having doubts, I remind myself that God has the plan in hand and I just need to trust it. Easier said than done sometimes, though. :)
