耶 29:11  耶和华说：我知道我向你们所怀的意念，是赐平安的意念，不是降灾祸的意念，要叫你们末后有指望。 
耶 29:12  你们要呼求我，祷告我，我就应允你们。 
耶 29:13  你们寻求我，若专心寻求我，就必寻见。

(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月有天一直因为一些事心里不安，到夜里两点还没睡着，就向主求三件事，其中一件是求主保守我父母身体。然后说：＂主啊，你给我句话，好让我知道祷告有被垂听！＂主就给了耶 29:12这句：  你们要呼求我，祷告我，我就应允你们。
这句和耶 29:13其实是果，因在耶 29:1１里。当时觉得想不明白，现在回想过往种种，过去几个月的生离死别都收在这几句里了！

主啊！我要做你这三分之一的子民，耐心等待末后的指望!
亚 13:9  我要使这三分之一经火，熬炼他们，如熬炼银子；试炼他们，如试炼金子。他们必求告我的名，我必应允他们。我要说，这是我的子民；他们也要说，耶和华是我们的神。”
（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.'"""
