This plan will look at how the Bible tells us that God is working out all things for those who love Him and how grief and loss do not have the final word; God does.

When our normal is shattered from life-altering experiences we are often left with fear, anxiety, heartbreak, and disappointment, eventually leading us to despair. Our hopes and dreams are dimmed by the hard reality of life. But hope isn’t just a fleeting wish, Hope is a Person!

We often hope in the world around us—for a promotion, a better relationship, a stronger family, and recovery of the sick. But trusting only in earthly outcomes will fail us. The Bible says we will experience loss and disappointment on earth, but we are held in God’s eternal love. On this plan, you will learn about God’s care for you and see how spiritual hope can bring strength amid life’s storms.
