Bible: Jeremiah 29:12; 33:3-8

29:12 When you call out to me and come to me in prayer, 1  I will hear your prayers. 2 
33:3 But Jacob 1  himself went on ahead of them, and he bowed toward the ground seven times as he approached 2  his brother. 33:4 But Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, hugged his neck, and kissed him. Then they both wept. 33:5 When Esau 3  looked up 4  and saw the women and the children, he asked, “Who are these people with you?” Jacob 5  replied, “The children whom God has graciously given 6  your servant.” 33:6 The female servants came forward with their children and bowed down. 7  33:7 Then Leah came forward with her children and they bowed down. Finally Joseph and Rachel came forward and bowed down.

33:8 Esau 8  then asked, “What did you intend 9  by sending all these herds to meet me?” 10  Jacob 11  replied, “To find favor in your sight, my lord.”
