耶 29:11  耶和華說：我知道我向你們所懷的意念，是賜平安的意念，不是降災禍的意念，要叫你們末後有指望。 
耶 29:12  你們要呼求我，禱告我，我就應允你們。 
耶 29:13  你們尋求我，若專心尋求我，就必尋見。

(ESV
Jer 29:11  "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." 
Jer 29:12  "Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you." 
Jer 29:13  "You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart." 
)

去年11月有天一直因為一些事心裡不安，到夜裡兩點還沒睡着，就向主求三件事，其中一件是求主保守我父母身體。然後說：＂主啊，你給我句話，好讓我知道禱告有被垂聽！＂主就給了耶 29:12這句：  你們要呼求我，禱告我，我就應允你們。
這句和耶 29:13其實是果，因在耶 29:1１里。當時覺得想不明白，現在回想過往種種，過去幾個月的生離死別都收在這幾句里了！

主啊！我要做你這三分之一的子民，耐心等待末後的指望!
亞 13:9  我要使這三分之一經火，熬煉他們，如熬煉銀子；試煉他們，如試煉金子。他們必求告我的名，我必應允他們。我要說，這是我的子民；他們也要說，耶和華是我們的神。”
（ESV
Zec 13:9  "And I will put this third into the fire, and refine them as one refines silver, and test them as gold is tested. They will call upon my name, and I will answer them. I will say, 'They are my people'; and they will say, 'The LORD is my God.'"""
