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.”

Lord, these are the words
that I rest my head on
each and every night,

the words that let me

the words that let me

the words that cradle me
and rock me to sleep,

the words that say simply:

There is hope.

Amen.
