Foretelling our Finding

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon Me, and ye shall go and pray unto Me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you" (Jeremiah 29:11-14).

In everything that God has planned,
He has done so for our good.
Things we did not understand,
God has surely understood.

Let this be our confidence:
God shall not be overruled.
He who is our sure Defense
Is not surprised or is He fooled.

How clearly we may comprehend
These thoughts of peace toward His own
Planned by God, our closest Friend,
Who in mercy makes them known.
