Look, I am sending my messenger who will clear the path before me...
MARK 1:12-13 (CEB)

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Jesus trailblazes the way through the wilderness for us.
PRAYER
Thank you, Father God, for sending your Son Jesus into the world to save us from wandering endlessly in the wilderness. He beat out the tempter that we can't ever seem to overcome on our own. Forgive us for thinking that we can do it through stoic determination and proper management. Help us to trust in your pioneering excursion on our behalf. I'm praising you our Savior. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
