Hey there! All who are thirsty,
come to the water!
MARK 1:32 (MSG)
That evening, after the sun was down, they brought sick and evil-afflicted people to him, the whole city lined up at his door!
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Those who recognize their neediness are invited to come to Jesus.
DAILY FODDER
How is it that our relationship with Jesus hinges on our neediness?
PRAYER
Great Physician, you heal those who turn to you with their needs. I admit that I avoid going to doctors until I'm desperate. It's so much easier to pretend that everything is going to simply work out. Help me to get in the habit of regular doctor visits with you so that we can deal with my neediness before it gets out of hand. I'm going to trust you to be my primary care physician. I'll do what you say and check in with all of the specialists on your team. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen!
