Jeremiah 29:11-14

I was looking for a particular scripture for the past few weeks, I know it is from Jeremiah but I really had a hard time locating it in the Bible. The reason I was so eager to read it is because the words brings so much inspiration to me. I remembered the meaning of the words, but nothing is stronger than to read the exact words ;-).

A lady in a church quoted this verse to me when she prayed for me at a time when I was 'lost' and struggling to find 'faith'. It was the first time I heard the verse, and at that moment, it felt so right, as though that these words were spoken to me.

Last Friday, I went for a gathering at a friend's place. At the end of the meeting, we prayed for each other, and again this verse were quoted by a brother from Nigeria. And I felt it in my heart, I am so so thankful to God, because He knows how much His words means to me that time.

Jeremiah 29:11-14
11 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. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and will bring you back from captivity.
