SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY   Mark 1:35-39

³⁵ Early the next morning, while it was still dark, Jesus woke and left the house. He went to a lonely place, where he prayed. ³⁶ Simon and his friends went to look for Jesus. ³⁷ When they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you!”
³⁸ Jesus answered, “We should go to other towns around here so I can preach there too. That is the reason I came.” ³⁹ So he went everywhere in Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and forcing out demons.
PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, in a world filled with broken promises resulting in broken lives, how comforted we are to know that You keep every promise You make. You heal the broken-hearted and bind up their wounds. You call us to Yourself, poor and needy, bruised and broken by the fall, and You stand ready to save us. We must doubt no more but fully trust You on the merit of the blood given for us through the death of Your Son, Jesus. We confess our brokenness and celebrate Your wholeness as we serve You and transfer our citizenship to Your kingdom that is eternal.

SMILE, LAUGH, FORGIVE, BELIEVE AND LOVE, OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
