LENTEN PRAYERS
WALKING WITH JESUS

Day 19: Wednesday
Mark 4:1-20

Christ Jesus, as we walk with You, enable us to receive your word so that our faith blossoms and bears fruit for God’s reign.  Help us to see and perceive!  Help us to listen and understand!  Help us to turn to You repeatedly for the forgiveness that we need so that we may walk in joy, freedom, and peace with You. 

Do not let the evil one snatch your word away from our ears and our minds.  Enable us to sink our roots deeply in the word so that we are able to endure every challenge to our trust in You.  Do not let us become so focused on wealth, on the things we need, the things that we imagine we need, or on any other concerns, that our faith is strangled and rendered barren and useless.  

We long to bear abundant fruit for God’s reign!  Help us as we walk beside you and keep our eyes on You.  We cannot do it on our own.  But we trust in You who are fully one with the God who can do all things.  Amen.
