One Kings 6 & 7

Solomon built the temple of the Lord with finest wood
and many precious materials.

The temple took 7 years to build.

Solomon also built a palace for himself.
This took 13 years to build.

Dear God, may all temples and churches in the world
be places of prayer and peace


Psalm 124

"If the Lord had not been on our side",
this is Israel's song.

If the Lord had not been on our side
when people rose against us,

then would they have swallowed us alive
when they were angry with us.

Blessed be the Lord who did not let us become
a prey for their teeth.

Our life, like a bird, has escaped
from the snare of the hunter.

Indeed the snare has been broken
and we have escaped.

Our help is in the name of the Lord
who made heaven and earth. 

Thank you, Lord, for all the times you have rescued me from trouble


I Thessalonians 5

Respect your Christian leaders. Be at peace among yourselves

Warn idlers, give courage to people who are struggling, 
care for the weak, and be patient with everyone. Never try to take revenge

Focus on what is best for each other and for the community

For all things give thanks to God,
because this is what God expects you to do in Christ Jesus

Jesus, thank you for everything, even for unhappy things


Luke 11

Jesus said to his disciples "Ask, and it will be given to you. 
Search, and you will find.  Knock, and the door will open

If children ask their parents for something good, their parents will always give it to them

Even more so will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him

Heavenly Father, please give me your Holy Spirit!
