Life with Prayer
Mark 14:32-36
Jesus was a very busy person, yet a person of prayer. What was the price of saying 'yes' to the Father as Jesus faced the cross?
Light a candle. Take some melted wax and press between your fingers. Think of a situation or event that requires you to surrender your will. Pray that God makes your heart pliable as warm wax.
Sing a song. "I Surrender All" or "Have Thine Own Way, Lord."
| The Path of Life
Psalm 16:5-11
You, Lord, are all I have,
and you give me all I need;
my future is in your hands.
How wonderful are your gifts to me;
how good they are!
I praise the Lord, because he guides me,
and in the night my conscience warns me.
I am always aware of the Lord's presence;
he is near, and nothing can shake me.
Reflect on ways you have known God's
presence in your life.
