Oh Lord, our Lord, you commanded this blessing to be spoken, because you want to give it. How we need it! Breathe your blessing into us in a new, deeper way.

Here's a gentle reminder to myself.

Door to hope: An open door welcomes you into a sun room filled with plants and light.

A future filled with hope

It's the best-loved verse in Jeremiah, and God says it to exiles. He announces to people who feel they have no future at all: "I know what I have planned for you. I have plans to prosper you, not to harm you. I have plans to give you a future filled with hope."
