“Give your attention to my prayers and the prayers of your people Israel. Listen to them anytime they ask you for help.
Night and day please watch over this Temple where you have said, ‘I will be worshiped there.’ Hear the prayer I pray facing this Temple.
You chose them from all the nations on earth to be your very own people. This is what you promised through Moses your servant when you brought our ancestors out of Egypt, Lord God.”
“Now, my God, look at us. Listen to the prayers we pray in this place.
The Lord is close to everyone who prays to him, to all who truly pray to him.
Lord, you are kind and forgiving and have great love for those who call to you.
