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.

                 Jeremiah 29. 7

(You are not here

 in this hard place,

difficult situation,

among impossible people

       for some random reason,

but strategically placed by God

for His glory,

for His kingdom,

in His name).
