What Is a Bible Verse for When You Feel Hopeless?
When hope feels impossible, Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that God has not forgotten His plans for you — plans rooted in a future and a hope, even when you cannot see it yet.
What Scripture Says
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope."
Jeremiah 29:11"Because of the loving devotion of the LORD we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail."
Lamentations 3:22"They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness."
Lamentations 3:23"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
Romans 15:13"For His anger is but for a moment, but His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning."
