“He is good! His faithful love endures forever!”

 and if they turn to you and acknowledge your name and pray to you here in this Temple, 34then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your people

and if your people Israel pray about their troubles, raising their hands toward this Temple, 39then hear from heaven where you live, and forgive. Give your people what their actions deserve, for you alone know each human heart.

But in that land of exile, they might turn to you in repentance and pray, ‘We have sinned, done evil, and acted wickedly.’ 

Nevertheless, listen to my prayer and my plea, O Lord my God. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is making to you.

Give your people what their actions deserve, for you alone know each human heart. 31Then they will fear you and walk in your ways

Lord God my Father,

You are good and faithful, help me to place all my trust in you, forgive me for moving my focus from you. You are my hope and Peace, hear my cry and give me a delightful heart that protects me from the ever present darkness. Give my heart what it desires, your Love and Peace as you designed it to rest on me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
