When Solomon had dedicated the temple of God, he then prayed for the people and this is his prayer in 1 Kings 8:56:
56 “Praise be to the LORD, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses. 57 May the LORD our God be with us as he was with our fathers; may he never leave us nor forsake us. 58 May he turn our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways and to keep the commands, decrees and regulations he gave our fathers. 59 And may these words of mine, which I have prayed before the LORD, be near to the LORD our God day and night, that he may uphold the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel according to each day’s need, 60 so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God and that there is no other. 61 But your hearts must be fully committed to the LORD our God, to live by his decrees and obey his commands, as at this time.”
We are the temple of God and we have the holy Spirit. God has been moving here in our group and God is captivating our hearts as a whole and individually. Brokenness is a process, so I am sure this is only the beginning. Is it the same with you? Are you seeking God with your whole heart?
This morning I wrote in my journal, “I am dedicated to growing no matter what the cost – even the whole of my life and my desires.” God has been working in me through so many experiences here and where we have been ministering. This is how we are to minister – We shouldn’t seek to minister to people, we should should seek for God to minister to us and other people get the overflow of that.”
