“How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭84‬:‭4

Dear Lord God, like David, our hearts desire is to dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Like the birds, the swallows, find us making a nest for the young by Your altars. We would be like the house of Obed-Edom, content to be doorkeepers in Your house in all generations. And even in times of upheaval, willing to bring our Samuels like the heart of Hannah. We would be in this company of lovers of God, and our declaration is that we love our Master, we will not go out free. Pierce our ears, Lord, for You have loved us as sons. We love You, Lord. We want to be where You are. In Your presence is fullness of joy. Your house is our home, and we are satisfied and content to dwell in Your house only to find that we are Your house, and You dwell in us. We praise You! We will ever and always be amazed at Your higher ways and Your higher thoughts! How blessed we truly are!

In the life-giving name of Jesus we pray.
