Jeremiah 29.11-14 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me, and go and pray to me, and I will listen to you. and you will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart i will be found by you says the lord i will bring you back from your captivity i will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where i have driven you says the Lord. And I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.
