Bible Reading: Jeremia

Jeremia 29: 11-15
For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare, not for woe!
Plans to give you a future full of hope.
When you call me, when you go to pray to me, I will listen to you.
When you look for me, you will find me.
Yes, when you seek me with all your heart,
You will find me with you, says the Lord,
And I will change your lot;
I will gather you together from all the nations and all the places to which I have banished you, says the Lord,
And I will bring you back to the place from which I have exiled you.

***
(But people have to call for the Lord, pray to the Lord, look for the Lord, and seek the Lord with “all your heart.” Not exploit and profane.)
