c. "All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be..." (v.16)

Can you think of a time when it felt like God had forgotten about your story—but looking back, you now see His hand? How did that season shape your view of God or yourself?

4. Read Jeremiah 29:11. The word “plans” is the Hebrew word “machashavah” (Pronounced: ma-kha-sha-VAH) meaning God’s intentional thoughts and plans. How does it change the way you view your life to realize you are the result of God’s thoughts?
