Deuteronomy 4:29-31

29But if you look for the Lord your God when you are among those nations, you will find him whenever you search for him with all your heart and with all your soul.

30When you’re in distress and all these things happen to you, then you will finally come back to the Lord your God and obey him.

31The Lord your God is a merciful God. He will not abandon you, destroy you, or forget the promise to your ancestors that he swore he would keep.
