"I know what I am doing. I have it all planned out--plans to take care of you, not to abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I'll listen. When you come looking for me, you'll find me."

- To you, from the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Jeremiah 29:11-13)
