LENTEN PRAYERS
WALKING WITH JESUS  

Day 8: Thursday
Mark 1:35-39  

Christ Jesus, we rejoice that You are constantly teaching us as we walk with You.  We rejoice that You were constantly attuned to the presence and desire of God, so that even in the midst of many demands, You sought out silent communion, in solitary places, in order that You might maintain a clear vision of the reign that You were inaugurating, as God’s agent, and so that your priorities remained clear and your energy was consistently renewed for the exercise of your healing, liberating, redeeming authority.  

As we hear your word, and see confirming signs of healing and liberation, remind us to draw close to God in communion.  Lead us into prayerful solitude.  Clarify our understanding of the meaning and intent of God’s reign among us.  Focus our vision on the people and labors to which You have called us.  Energize us so we may carry on your healing and liberating ministry as glad followers in your footsteps.  Amen.
