Purpose
I have set watchmen
on your walls,
O Jerusalem;
They shall never
They shall never
hold their peace day or night.
You who make mention of the Lord,
You who make mention of the Lord,
do not keep silent,
And give Him no rest
And give Him no rest
till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem
And till He makes Jerusalem
a praise in the earth.

and He has told us to pray

pray it into existence.

to be involved with God
in the formative work
of others lives.

not in vain repetition

Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”
