| For I know full well the plans I have for you, plans for your welfare and not for your misfortune, plans that will offer you a future filled with hope. | 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. |
| When you call out to me and come forth and pray to me, I will listen to you. | Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. |
| When you search for me, you will find me. When you seek me with all your heart. | You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. |
Bible verse of the day
All this took place in order to fulfill what the Lord had announced through the prophet:“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and give birth to a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel,”
a name that means “God is with us.”
