Hear our voice, Lord our God; merciful Father, have compassion upon us and accept our prayers in mercy and favor, for You are God who hears prayers and supplications; do not turn us away empty-handed from You, our King, for You hear the prayer of everyone. Blessed are You Lord, who hears prayer. Look with favor, Lord our God, on Your people Israel and pay heed to their prayer; restore the service to Your Sanctuary and accept with love and favor Israel's fire-offerings and prayer; and may the service of Your people Israel always find favor. May our eyes behold Your return to Zion in mercy. Blessed are You Lord, who restores His Divine Presence to Zion.

God hears. God has not turned-away, but abides with us always. God looks. God pays heed.

In our prayers, do we hear? Do we abide with God or do we turn away. Do we look for God in our daily lives? Do we pay heed?

God is present on Zion. God is present here and now. But to participate in blessing we must be present to God.
