LENTEN PRAYERS 
WALKING WITH JESUS

Day 31: Wednesday
Mark 7:24-30

Christ Jesus, as we walk with You, we see that many people are drawn to You for many reasons.  Some are merely curious about You, but many seek You when they are confronted with an overwhelming crisis or need, confident that You are able to heal and liberate. 

You enter into dialogue.  You listen and speak.  You make yourself available and vulnerable.  You respond to each one as a unique individual.  You speak words of challenge.  You elicit faith….

And you do heal.  You do liberate from spiritual bondage.  You exercise authority, compassion and power that exceed our imagination.  You bring new life out of chaos.  But you do not always heal quickly and on the spot or in ways that seem magical to us.  You do not always act as we expect.  

We follow You, with the faith that You have brought to life in us, even though we do not always understand what You are saying to us or what you are doing within, among and through us.  Amen.
