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.
