Jeremiah 29:11-13

This morning I prayed this very simple prayer:
"Heavenly Father, I lay down all my dreams and hope on You. Trusting that you have plans for me - even on this very day that You've made... "

Initially I begin my devotion with Psalms 9:10,
"Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you."

These words of assurance warmed my heart and was impressed upon reading on Jeremiah 29:11-13. Read on and you will understand how wonderfully real He can be, speaking to us throuh His word.

"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 & come & pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

I have read these verses many atimes but this time it was an urging command - telling me that to know His name is to call upon Him and this means to pray to Him. He reassured me of a hope and future in which I prayed for this morning. Have always pondered on the true meaning of seeking Him with all my heart and today I knew just what He meant, i.e. desiring to be in a relationship with Him.

All Glory to Him. Amen.
