Jeremiah 29:11 - 14A
11For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans
for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
12In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me in
earnest, you will find me when you seek me. 14I will be found by you,"
says the
LORD...
