And may these words that I have prayed in the presence of the Lord be before him constantly, day and night, so that the Lord our God may give justice to me and to his people Israel, according to each day’s needs.

Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.

‘Why did the Lord do such terrible things to this land and to this Temple?’

22“And the answer will be, ‘Because his people abandoned the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who brought them out of Egypt, and they worshiped other gods instead and bowed down to them. That is why he has brought all these disasters on them.’”

Lord God my Father,

Help me develop a heart that only worships you and pleases you. I am your servant first, shape me into your design. I am nothing, worthless without your Love, help me turn from my broken ways. Keep me from disappointment and shame.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
