SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY    Mark 4:35-41

³⁵ That evening, Jesus said to his followers, “Let’s go across the lake.” ³⁶ Leaving the crowd behind, they took him in the boat just as he was. There were also other boats with them. ³⁷ A very strong wind came up on the lake. The waves came over the sides and into the boat so that it was already full of water. ³⁸ Jesus was at the back of the boat, sleeping with his head on a cushion. His followers woke him and said, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are drowning!”

³⁹ Jesus stood up and commanded the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind stopped, and it became completely calm.
⁴⁰ Jesus said to his followers, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
⁴¹ The followers were very afraid and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

 Daily prayer: Father, You have called upon us to be sober and vigilant believers who are instant in season and out of season. We’re ready to spring into action to do Your bidding when we might least expect to be called upon. May the fruit of the Spirit; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control, be evident in our attitudes and actions as we live out our daily lives and relate to others while living self-controlled and sober minded lives. Through Christ Jesus we pray. Amen.

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