Through Him we can dare to hope-not in the government, our family, a job, or even the church. Other choices of fear, doubt, and bitterness call us to select their posture when life gets overwhelming. Living in such an unstable world, we tend to have a propensity to worry. When marriages fail, bank accounts run low, friendships end, or the everyday demands of a fast-paced life get us down, we sometimes feel the ground shaking beneath our feet. The situation only compounds when we add our personal issues to these corporate ones. If we allow our thoughts to linger on things such as the national debt, the pesticide-covered food supply, the condition of the environment, the increase in violence toward even our most innocent, and the looming moral bankruptcy of our culture, we can get pretty discouraged.

In many ways we live in an age of uncertainty. When we look around at today’s world, hope usually isn’t the first word that comes to mind. Other components for the Bible study, available separately, include a Leader Guide, DVD with six 20-25 minute sessions, and boxed Leader Kit (an all-inclusive box containing one copy of each of the Bible study’s components). The participant workbook includes five days of lessons for each week, combining study of Scripture with personal reflection, application, and prayer. This six-week study examines God’s words of instruction to His wayward people through the prophet Jeremiah, and provides women six guidelines for intentional living to overcome fear, worry, and doubt as they surrender their wills to God’s and put their hope in Him alone.Ĭombining rich study of the Book of Jeremiah with practical life application that resonates with the realities and experiences of today’s women, this study inspires all women to dare to hope, remembering that God is rich in mercy and love and has good plans for us.

Jeremiah offers women hope for living in an uncertain world by learning to navigate the challenges and circumstances of their lives. But how do we do this? Where do we start? In the Book of Jeremiah, we find God calling out to His people with a message of hope-a message that intentional living is possible even in an unstable world. In many ways we live in an unstable world where marriages fail, bank accounts run low, friendships end, and the everyday demands of a fast-paced life get us down. Learn to surrender to God’s will and rest your hope in Him alone.
