This verse is truly one of the most cherished passages in Scripture, and it resonates deeply for a wonderful reason: it reassures us that while our path may be uncertain, God has a plan. Spoken to those in exile rather than in comfort, its message shines even brighter. It’s a heartfelt reminder that, even in times of feeling lost, we are never forgotten. God lovingly assures us, “Your story isn’t over; I’m still writing it.”
Jeremiah points us to God’s faithfulness. His promises remind us that even in hardship, His plans give us hope and a future.

Embracing God’s calling may be tough, but it is a truly sacred journey filled with purpose and hope.
I came to Jeremiah in a season where I felt overlooked and unsure of my purpose. But his words hit differently. They didn’t sugarcoat the pain; they named it. And then they pointed straight to a God who still speaks, still calls, and still restores. That’s the kind of hope I needed. That’s why I built Holy Focus.
