You, O Lord, are exalted forever. How great are Your works, how profound Your thoughts!

We are very much aware that You, who created the ear, hears; You, who formed the eye, sees and You, who teaches, have all knowledge. You know our thoughts and we recognize that without Your direction, our thoughts are pointless.

When we slip, Your mercy and loving kindness holds us up. When we doubt, Your Word encourages us. When anxiety is great within us, Your comfort brings joy to our soul.

So, Heavenly Father, we listen as wisdom calls out from the inscriptions on the walls of this building; calling loudly in these chambers where we and the people come together. Thank You for giving us good counsel and sharing Your knowledge with us throughout this week.

Now, may the Lord of Peace, Himself, continually grant us peace in every situation. The Lord be with us all.
