*A thought*:
Although the centre of Israel's prayer life, the Temple, was established, there was still a need to build the walls. Prayer is important, but so is work. As someone once put it, "We must pray as if it all depended on God and work as though it all depended on us".
*Week #38 Memory Verse*:
Matthew 7:7-8
" Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened"
