Jeremiah 29:11-13
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

As Israel was led captive to Babylon because of their rebellion, their sin, against God, they were offered a way back. God wants us (His people) to have hope, to know we have an eternal future in Jesus Christ. So He offers repentance that we may seek Him, cry out to Him, and be delivered from the place we have been taken captive in - our sin and its penalty in the end. Romans 10:9-13
