Jeremiah 29:1, These are the words of the letter that the prophet Jeremiah sent from Jerusalem to the remaining elders among the exiles, and to the priests, the prophets, and all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. …

4 This is what the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, says to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat what they produce. 6 Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, so that they may have sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. 7 But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.

8 For this is what the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, says: Do not let the prophets and the diviners who are among you deceive you, and do not listen to the dreams that they dream, 9 for it is a lie that they are prophesying to you in my name; I did not send them, says the LORD. 10 For this is what the LORD says: Only when Babylon's seventy years are completed will I visit you, and I will fulfill my promise to you and bring you back to this place. 11 For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.

12 Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you. 13 When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart, 14 I will let you find me, says the LORD, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.

I was very interested in your interpretation of your place of exile... I am sure you are right to try to seek the peace of where you are at present and wait for God's action, however slow and frustrating that seems to be. I also identify with it personally. Every time I have tried to move things on in terms of the book or the new vision or whatever I have hit a brick wall. But the endless waiting for God to act is incredibly hard. In the meantime I have no option but to get on with the everyday same old same old, with the occasional moments when God does seem to break in and bring a glimmer of vision again. Oh, and I agree about 29:11 which has been 'given' to me by various people at various crisis points and by this point does ring a bit hollow. If this is the plan I'm not sure I like it! - Mercia, Northern Ireland

4 This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 7 seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf … 10 … when Babylon's seventy years are completed I will visit you, and I will fulfill my promise to you and bring you back to this place. 11 For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.

5 Build houses – settle down; plant gardens – eat … 6 Marry – have children; let your children marry and have their own children; 6 …multiply there, and do not decrease. 7 But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf … 8 …Do not let the prophets among you deceive you, and do not listen to the dreams that they dream, 9 for it is a lie that they are prophesying to you in my name; I did not send them, says the LORD.

12 Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you. 13 When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart, 14 I will let you find me, says the LORD, and (then) I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and (then) I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.

10 For this is what the LORD says: Only when Babylon's seventy years are completed will I visit you, and I will fulfill my promise to you and bring you back to this place. 13When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart, 14 I will let you find me … 7 But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.
