Thank You for Your Word and for this chapter. Thank You for the reminder that You are a faithful and gracious God who keeps Your promises to Your people. Thank You for the example of the Israelites who returned to Jerusalem with a spirit of unity and dedication to rebuild the temple. Help us to also have a spirit of unity and dedication in our own lives as we seek to honor and serve You.
Please give us the strength and courage to overcome any obstacles or setbacks that we may face in our journey. Help us to stay focused on You and Your will for our lives, and to always trust in Your faithfulness and provision.
May we be a people who are zealous for Your house and Your work, and may we bring glory to Your name in all that we do. Thank You for Your constant presence and Your love for us.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
