SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY     Mark 8:1-5

Another time there was a great crowd with Jesus that had nothing to eat. So Jesus called his followers and said, ² “I feel sorry for these people, because they have already been with me for three days, and they have nothing to eat. ³ If I send them home hungry, they will faint on the way. Some of them live a long way from here.”

⁴ Jesus’ followers answered, “How can we get enough bread to feed all these people? We are far away from any town.”
⁵ Jesus asked, “How many loaves of bread do you have?”
They answered, “Seven.”

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

 

 Father, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ, we want to do our part in standing firm against the growing tide of evil. So we go on the offensive by applying the Sword of the Spirit which helps us understand, interpret and spiritually prepare for that which we were not subjected to in the past. We go on the defensive by suiting up in our spiritual armor; the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, gospel of peace, shield of faith, and helmet of salvation.  Like a blanket we cover all these weapons of spiritual warfare in prayer, asking You to prepare us for the daily challenges of living for Christ. We also pray that we will remain faithful and uncompromising to Your Holy Word should we face any cataclysmic event in our lifetime. In the holy name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
