Mark 2:20
Fasting is appropriate at this time. However, as Jesus goes on to explain, the reasons for fasting differ somewhat from before. In this day, fasting shows our dependence upon the Lord. Believers have the Spirit in them, but fasting is an outward manifestation of an inward dependence and faith.
Bible Reading: John 14:1-16:33
Scripture Memory: James 5:17 “Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for being so faithful! We hear so much about waiting on you, but maybe you are waiting on us! We so often want what we don’t need and need what we don’t want. Thank you for teaching us the difference. Your ways are so much better than ours. You can give the best gifts and guide the right ways. You are altogether holy, and your authority is absolute. I want to honor you with my life. May the name of Christ be constantly in my mouth. May he be praised! Salvation is the most beautiful thing ever! You have made your glory apparent to all, dear Father. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
Prayer Requests: Pray for a woman who is not feeling well. Pray for a man who has been in the hospital for a very long time.
