" 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. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you, " declares the Lord, " and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile" Jeremiah29:11-14(NIV)
