Jeremiah 29:11 - 14.
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to 
prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 
Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen 
to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your 
heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring 
you back from captivity.
