When the queen of Sheba realized how very wise Solomon was, and when she saw the palace he had built, 5she was overwhelmed.

How happy your people must be! What a privilege for your officials to stand here day after day, listening to your wisdom! 8Praise the Lord your God, who delights in you and has placed you on the throne as king to rule for him. Because God loves Israel and desires this kingdom to last forever, he has made you king over them so you can rule with justice and righteousness.”

Lord God my Father,

Give me wisdom that is beyond my knowledge, keep me humble and under your authority. Cause me to share your goodness in a way to make your glory obvious.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

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

“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

Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours?”

I will give you a wise and understanding heart such as no one else has had or ever will have! 13And I will also give you what you did not ask for—riches and fame! 

Lord God my Father,

Help me to be still in my thoughts so I may hear you without distraction. Help me to honor you with all my thoughts and actions, allow my words to be a comfort to others.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

O Lord, pay back our neighbors seven times for the scorn they have hurled at you. 13Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will thank you forever and ever, praising your greatness from generation to generation.

Turn us again to yourself, O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved.

Lord God my Father,

When will you be fed up with the sinful hearts of this world and cleanse it. Your Greatness is overwhelming. Sin thinks it is winning but your people stand fast with your Glory. Give a courageous heart to your people and cause them to stand in your Truth and Peace.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Human defiance only enhances your glory, for you use it as a weapon.

Yes, his anger rose against Israel, 22for they did not believe God or trust him to care for them.

When God began killing them, they finally sought him. They repented and took God seriously. 35Then they remembered that God was their rock, that God Most High78:35 Hebrew El-Elyon. was their redeemer.

Lord God my Father,

No matter what is happening, Your Glory remains constant. Restore the heart you designed to your people. Cause all to turn to you again. Allow the present darkness to soften the stubborn heart and turn it back, heal our land.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Praise the Lord forever! Amen and amen!

Lord God my Father,

You are the maker of everything good, I praise you. May I glorify you in all things.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony! 2For harmony is as precious as the anointing oil that was poured over Aaron’s head, that ran down his beard and onto the border of his robe. 3Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon that falls on the mountains of Zion. And there the Lord has pronounced his blessing, even life everlasting.

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

In your unfailing love, silence all my enemies and destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.

Lord God my Father,

Keep your Peace in my heart to bring unity to the division that Satan desires for the world. Help me to Love without hesitation and help me to act on your Peace alone. Take care of my enemy so I may keep my focus on you.

In. Jesus name I pray,

Amen

For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. 12He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west.

We escaped like a bird from a hunter’s trap. The trap is broken, and we are free! 8Our help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Lord God my Father,

Your unfailing love for me is my delight, keep me on your path and direct me when I stray. Cause me to only hold your will in my desires.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! Your enemies cringe before your mighty power. 4Everything on earth will worship you; they will sing your praises, shouting your name in glorious songs.”

May God be merciful and bless us. May his face smile with favor on us.

2May your ways be known throughout the earth, your saving power among people everywhere. 3May the nations praise you, O God.

Lord God my Father,

You are creator, provider, director, Life. Your Glory is too great to understand. Bless me this day and keep me well, drive me to do your will and not hesitate.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
