"Hallelujah! To the holy and glorious Lord who opens this blessed day with his guidance, I give praise. I thank you for always being with me in all aspects of my life, showering me with your grace.

God, you allowed Ezekiel to see that your temple, which should be full of holiness and glory, instead became a detestable place of idol worship (Ezekiel 8:1-18). Would you help me to live a life that first looks and reflects on my own heart. I want to be able to discern and root out the sin and idols that are hidden in my life and church community. May I not idolize or chase after anything else but you, Lord.

Would you captivate me, so that I can wholly trust you with a fullness of the Holy Spirit, that I may be able to rid myself of any and all idols in my life. And would you lead me so that I may always live along with my family and church community, in the midst of your glory. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."
