Day 21

Open your mind and heart to God’s presence and guidance.

Scripture:
Mark 6:1-13

Focus Verse:
“And he could do no deed of power there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and cured them. And he was amazed at their unbelief” (vv. 5, 6).

Listening to God:
Your unbelief can block the good I want to do in this world. I have promised over and over again that whatever you ask in my name I will do. This applies to your life, to those around you, and also to your church and the wider community. If you are dedicated to doing my will, all the power of heaven is at your disposal. Does this mean you will get everything you want? No. That would not be good for you. However, I promise to give you everything you need to live in the flow of my will. Today ask for this and trust me to keep my promise! Your prayers are the channel through which my power flows into the world.”

Listen in silence. Quiet your mind by letting go of sounds and thoughts as they occur, seeking a silent space for God’s word to you.

Write or say your own prayer.
