Listen from heaven where you live, and do everything that foreigners ask of you. Do this so that all people on earth will know your name and respect you, just like your people Israel do. Let them know that this temple I have built belongs to you.

God, please listen to me and really hear what I'm saying. Look around and see how broken everything is — see what's happened to the city that belongs to you. I'm not coming to you because I think I deserve anything or because I've been so good. I'm asking because you're incredibly merciful.
