‘If your descendants live as they should and follow me faithfully with all their heart and soul, one of them will always sit on the throne of Israel.’

The one who rules righteously,who rules in the fear of God,4is like the light of morning at sunrise,like a morning without clouds,like the gleaming of the sunon new grass after rain.’

Don’t sin by letting anger control you.Think about it overnight and remain silent.

Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house;I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe.8Lead me in the right path, O Lord,or my enemies will conquer me.Make your way plain for me to follow.

Lord God my Father,

Keep me close and on your path, protect me from deceit. Allow your righteousness to rest on me and allow me to not doubt your plan for me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

The people rejoiced over the offerings, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly to the Lord, and King David was filled with joy.

 Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O Lord, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things.

“O Lord, the God of our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, make your people always want to obey you. See to it that their love for you never changes. 19Give my son Solomon the wholehearted desire to obey all your commands, laws, and decrees, and to do everything necessary to build this Temple, for which I have made these preparations.”

So King Solomon summoned Adonijah, and they brought him down from the altar. He came and bowed respectfully before King Solomon, who dismissed him, saying, “Go on home.”

Lord God my Father,

Open my heart and keep me in your Joy as I give my all back to you where it came from. Help me to see where I stray and keep me on the path you laid before me. Help me to have mercy on those who try to hurt me because of my love for you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

And if he continues to obey my commands and regulations as he does now, I will make his kingdom last forever.’

“And Solomon, my son, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. 

Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. 

Lord God my Father,

Give me a heart that obeys you, Give me a heart that worships you. Give me your strength and courage to complete your task today.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

To the faithful you show yourself faithful;to those with integrity you show integrity.26To the pure you show yourself pure,but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.

Lord God my Father,

May my will be faithful to you to create actions that are pleasing. Protect me from the wicked.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

 “No, I insist on buying it, for I will not present burnt offerings to the Lord my God that have cost me nothing.”

 Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or lose heart!

Then David ordered all the leaders of Israel to assist Solomon in this project. 

Now seek the Lord your God with all your heart and soul. 

Lord God my Father,

Keep my heart in proper perspective, give me strength and persistence to do your will. Help me to assemble a team to join me in doing your will. May your Glory shin freely in all I do.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
