I was glad when they said to me, \u201cLet us go to the house of the\xa0Lord!\u201d\xa0Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! Jerusalem\u2014built as a city that is\xa0bound firmly together, to which the tribes\xa0go up, the tribes of the\xa0Lord, as was\xa0decreed for\xa0Israel, to give thanks to the name of the\xa0Lord. There\xa0thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! \u201cMay they be secure who love you! Peace be within your\xa0walls and security within your\xa0towers!\u201d For my brothers and companions' sake\xa0I will say,\xa0\u201cPeace be within you!\u201d For the sake of the house of the\xa0Lord\xa0our God, I will\xa0seek your good. Psalm 122:1-9 (ESV)

\u201cWorship does not satisfy our hunger for God \u2013 it whets our appetite. Our need for God is not taken care of by engaging in worship \u2013 it deepens. It overflows the hour and permeates the week.\u201d \u2013 Eugene Peterson
