HOPE Jeremiah 29:11-13

"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."

For I know the plans I have for you
Psalm 40:5 Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.

plans to prosper you and not to harm you
Isaiah 55:12 "You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands."

plans to give you hope and a future
Job 8:7 "Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be."

Then you will call upon me
Hosea 2:23 "I will plant her for myself in the land; I will show my love to the one I called 'Not my loved one', I will say to those called 'Not my people,' 'You are my people;' and they will say, 'You are my God.'"
Zephaniah 3:12 "But I will leave within you the meek and humble, who trust in the name of the LORD."
Zechariah 13:9 "This third I will bring into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, 'They are my people,' and they will say, 'The LORD is our God.'"

and come and pray to me
1 Kings 8:30 "Hear the supplication of your servant and of your people Israel when they pray toward this place. Hear from heaven, your dwelling place, and when you hear, forgive."

and I will listen to you
Psalm 145:19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them.
Isaiah 55:6 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.

You will seek me and find me
Matthew 7:7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."

when you seek me with all your heart
Deuteronomy 4:29 But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.
2 Chronicles 6:37 "... and if they have a change of heart in the land where they are held captive, and repent and plead with you in the land of their captivity and say, 'We have sinned, we have done wrong and acted wickedly'; ..."
