Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. Thank you for waking me and for this new day. Father, I stand in awe at your power to bring together in kinship generations of those who have loved you and worshiped you. Thank you for inviting me to be part of your family called the church. Thank you, praise and give you all the honor and glory Jesus. Amen.


That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place. And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.
1 Kings 8:29-30
