Jeremiah 29:11
Jeremiah 29:11 is a scripture that keeps me grounded no matter what's going on around me. I grew up hearing this verse as "plans to prosper you and not to forsake you..." It wasn't until I was exposed to multiple translations of the Bible that I recognized the nuance in prosper vs. welfare.
In North America, to prosper is often linked directly to prosperity - the big house, the 6-figure income, the booming business, etc. But what a comfort it is to know that God has plans for my welfare, for my overall wellbeing! God wants me to be healthy - mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally.
