“O Sovereign Lord! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you! 18You show unfailing love to thousands,

Even though I diligently taught them, they would not receive instruction or obey. 34They have set up their abominable idols right in my own Temple, defiling it.

For I will restore the prosperity of this land to what it was in the past, says the Lord.

But this is what the Lord says: I would no more reject my people than I would change my laws that govern night and day, earth and sky. 

Lord God my Father,

You are God, all powerful, ruler over all. Thank you for who you are, cause me to seek to be under your authority and not my own. My way is sinful, yours is delightful. Give me the focus and desire to restore this temple to your delightful design and ability to do your will in all things. Direct me without compromise weakening my actions. I want to be restored and I pray restoration over your people.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
