1/29 – A Day in the Life: Prayer’s Power (Mark 1:35-39) (Reading: James 5:13-18)

In our busy, helter-skelter world and life, it often seems like there isn’t time to pray. But could it be that the opposite is true? There isn’t time NOT to pray. Jesus had just spent his day – dawn until late into the night – serving people. He must have been exhausted. The next day would be more of the same. Yet, what do we find him doing? We see him on his knees, off on his own, praying. I don’t mean to minimize the work that Jesus or even that we do. But which will make a greater difference? Our own work? Or getting the God of the Universe involved in the work? I think you know the answer. Jesus prays, and we learn to pray for him.
