Let us keep in our hearts the fact that this is Your creation and Your perfect plan to redeem Your beloved children. Let us see the beauty and Your wisdom within the retelling of Jesus’ crucifixion. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

🙏 Heavenly Father, You have shown us how mankind can find many excuses to deny Your authority or question Your wisdom. Even when Your Son, Our Lord Jesus, walked among us, demonstrating His authority, we were slow to listen. Our pride makes us try to fit Your wisdom into our own molds. Help us humble our wills and expand our minds to embrace the reality that You want to show us in these chapters today. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

🙏🏻 Heavenly Father, like the Magi from the east who journeyed to Jerusalem in search of The King, we are often told that as far as our Christian life is concerned, we too are on a journey. Let us humble ourselves and read what You have told us about the wise men that went before us in search of You. You have shown us milestones in this journey, let us learn from Your Word, which brings us life. We ask this in the mighty name of our King, Jesus. Amen.

🙏 Heavenly Father, let us humbly submit ourselves to You and listen to Your teachings in these next two chapters of Mark’s Gospel. You have shown us already how easy it is for us to lose our perspective of Your holiness as You condescend to draw near to us. Let us remember that the drawing near is always meant to lift us to You and Your Kingdom, never to reduce Your almighty Son, Jesus, to ours. You have told us who HE IS. The great I AM. And we sit now to LISTEN TO HIM. It is in His name that we pray that You soften our hearts to hear You today. Amen.

🙏 Heavenly Father, we draw near to You as You reveal to us the beauty and majesty of Your Kingdom. We thank You for Your Spirit that You’ve given to us to help understand and interpret Your Word. You speak plainly to us; let us sit at Your feet and wonder anew at what You are showing us in these two chapters of Mark’s Gospel. Reveal Yourself, reveal our hearts, and reveal our Savior. Speak now Lord, Jesus, Your servants are listening. Amen.

🙏🏽 Dear Heavenly Father, speak to us Your children during this season of Advent. You give us our lives in seasons and in cycles for a reason. We live day-to-day as You desire and we are grateful that your mercies are new every morning. Each evening we ask, Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love for I have put my trust in you. (Psalm 143:8) And each year we grow from children to young men and women, before we become the fathers and mothers entrusted to show Your love to others. Remind us this advent season what patient endurance means and what it promises. We ask this is the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

🙏 Heavenly Father, we draw near to You to fill us again with Your Spirit and Your Wisdom. It is through our time together with You and Your Word, that we find life. Show us something new today that is preventing us from being closer to You so that we can repent and get back on the narrow path. We long for the peace that surpasses all understanding that we feel only in Your presence, made possible only through Your Son, Our Savior. It is in His name that we pray this and draw near to you today. Amen.
