Jesus makes his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. When he exercises his messianic authority, however, that authority is immediately challenged.

A Prayer Prompted by Mark 11
Dear heavenly Father,
Your people have often fallen into times of deep hypocrisy and in this chapter we see Jesus confront a group of people who were in one of those times.
Help us to be especially sensitive to the ways that our lives do not line up with your desires for us.
Let us always remember that you get to set the agenda in our lives individually and in the church.
And help us not to forget the importance of prayer. We know it can be really effective when we truly believe and consistently bring our requests before you.
We also know that before prayer comes a heart of forgiveness. Help us to be those people that refuse to hold grudges and refuse to let unforgiveness cloud our relationship with you.
And we thank you for all the ways and the times that you have forgiven us.
In Christ,
Amen.
Mark 10 Verse by Verse
Jesus teaches us on the topics of marriage and divorce, children, riches and true greatness.
A Prayer Prompted by Mark 10
Dear heavenly Father,
We acknowledge that we are sinful people who live in the midst of a sinful nation. Particularly in the areas of marriage and sexuality we have so distorted your desires for us that there is no way left for us to untie the knots.
Please forgive us, please transform us and please help us to make right whatever we can.
Help us to rely fully on the sacrifice of Jesus to cleanse us of our sin.
Help us to exercise a childlike faith and trust in you.
Like the blind beggar Bartimaeus, we really are helpless and have nothing at all to lose – except perhaps our sin and shame.
Therefore, we submit fully to Jesus as our Savior, Messiah and Lord.
In Christ,
Amen.
