Christ Teaches Prayer of Faith
With His gaze fixed in Jerusalem
and the consummation of his
earthly ministry, Jesus intensifies
His final training of the disciples.
Stewardship is the central theme,
for the disciples will soon be
entrusted with the message
of the gospel. Jesus outlines the
duties of a servant & underscores
the importance of prayer.
Lord, we will Pray With Faith:
And the apostles said to the Lord:
Increase our faith. So the Lord said:
If You had faith even as Small
as a mustard seed, You could say
to this mulberry tree: May you be
uprooted and thrown to the sea,
and it would obey you (Luke17:5-6)
So when He saw them, He said
to them: Go show yourselves to
the priests. And so it was that
as they went, they were cleansed.
One of them when he saw he was
healed, came back, praising God
in a loud voice (Lk 17:14-15) Amen
Lord, Your Spirit will give us the
necessary faith and we need just
to act upon it. Help us to pray
with perseverance, trusting You
to move even things that look
immovable and impossible.
For faith come from looking at
God and not at the mountain.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
Lord, thank you for the many
blessings You have bestowed
upon my life. I praise You especially
as my healer; and thank you for
the 3-5 times You had miraculously
healed me in the past and will heal
me in the future. Thank You that
even as I praise You now, Your
healing presence is penetrating
my life and making me whole.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Lord, thanks for lessons in Lk13-18
where U intensify training of the 12.
Help us to practice the heart of
Christianity: to love God and to
love others; to be Compassionate
to those in need; and to live in
such a way that others will see U.
Help us to be Faithful Steward by
enabling us to live life by yr Word
rather than the way of society.
And grant us Child-like Faith so
that we simply trust Your Word.
We ask for your enabling in all
the above so that we can be Your
disciples for your glory. Amen.
