LORD, I look up to you, up to heaven, where you rule.

"But can you, O God, really live on earth? Not even all of heaven is large enough to hold you, so how can this Temple that I have built be large enough?

Hear my prayers and the prayers of your people when they face this place and pray. In your home in heaven hear us and forgive us.

"I am the high and holy God, who lives forever. I live in a high and holy place, but I also live with people who are humble and repentant, so that I can restore their confidence and hope.

The LORD says, "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house, then, could you build for me, what kind of place for me to live in?

Jesus said to them, "When you pray, say this: 'Father: May your holy name be honored; may your Kingdom come.

He alone is immortal; he lives in the light that no one can approach. No one has ever seen him; no one can ever see him. To him be honor and eternal power! Amen.
