1 Kings 8:41-43 – a prayer of King Solomon

  

Someday, Lord, people who do not belong
to You will learn of You. 

Your Name will draw them from distant lands
for they will hear of Your great Name and strength. 

And when they pray in Your presence, hear them
from heaven where You live, and grant what they ask. 

Then all people on earth will eventually come to 
know and awe You as Your people do now!

They, too, will see the sanctuary honors Your Name.

…

This timeless prayer from King Solomon reminds us
to let others know about our awesome God. Please

God blesses us with His prayer, His Name

 Numbers 6:23-27 – “Bless My children. Tell them this:  'God blesses you and keeps you. The face of God shines upon you and is gracious to you. God looks upon you with peace.’  In this way, you will put My Name on My children, and I will bless them.”

We claim this blessing, Lord! Thank You for looking favorably upon us. Thank You for Your promise of grace and peace that give our faces such rest, such shine!

Praise You for receiving us and blessing us. Thank You for claiming us as Your children and giving us Your Family Name.
