Feb. 1: Mark 1:21-28 “What is this? A new teaching–and with authority! He even gives orders to evil spirits and they obey Him.” Lord God, forgive us for weak teaching we have been willing to receive…and to pass on to others. Create in us a hunger for Your truth, in all its power. We pray for an anointing upon all who teach in and through our churches.
Feb. 8: Mark 1:35-39 “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where He prayed.” Jesus, forgive us for our laziness and disobedience concerning prayer. Our churches show the effects of that laziness and disobedience. We ask that You pour out Your Holy Spirit upon us, even in early morning hours, and create within each one of us a passion for a prayer. And remind us daily to pray for the whole church.
Feb. 15: Mark 1:40-45 “Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out His and touched the man.” O God, our Healer, fill us with the compassion of Jesus. Let us be known as churches with Your heart, churches where people with all kinds of weakness and illness will feel called to gather, knowing that prayer and mercy will cover them. We pray a special anointing on all congregations who offer healing services and prayers.
Feb. 22: Mark 9:2-9 “This is My Son, whom I love. Listen to Him!” Jesus, our Savior, forgive us for the many times we have not listened to You…as individuals, congregations, and as a denomination. Be transformed before us…in our hearts let us see You in Your full glory, and know the power of Your Word. So many voices speak and conflict, please, Jesus, help us to hear and to heed YOURS.
