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.
Commentary:
- Two key elements of answered prayer are:
our prayer is consistent with God’s plan for us; and - we seek the Lord with all of our heart. It is this seeking of the Lord that will give us insight as to God’s plan for us.
