LENTEN PRAYERS 2018: PRAYING THE DAILY GOSPEL


FOURTH FRIDAY
Mark 6:47-56

Jesus, Provider, we rejoice that You are not gripped by the confusion, fear, and disbelief that often characterize our lives. You are not afraid of the chaos that seems to surround and threaten us. You are not paralyzed by circumstances that often leave us feeling helpless.

Even when our faith is weak and we are gripped by terror, You seek us out. You do not ignore us or abandon us, but You see our crises and come to us during our nights of storm and dread.

Sometimes your arrival terrifies us. You are Mystery beyond our control! But then, as You draw close, the chaos around us is still, and the terror in our hearts is quieted, and we are simply amazed by You. 

After our anxious fears have subsided, You guide us along to continue your ministry of healing and renewal. We go gladly, trusting that You are able to minister to others even through our weaknesses. Amen.
