When one chapter of our life concludes, it's natural to wonder if it's truly the end or the beginning of something new. In Jeremiah 29:11 (NASB), God assures us, "For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope."
When something finishes, it can signify that God is preparing us for a new direction or purpose. Reflecting on past experiences helps us understand how God has used previous endings to bring about new beginnings.
Trusting in God means embracing change with faith and confidence. Instead of seeing an end as a loss, we can view it as a start to something new. Seeking God's wisdom and remaining hopeful, we can navigate transitions with a positive mindset, knowing He is always working for our benefit and guiding us towards a hopeful future.
