You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?

Lord God my Father,

Only you can save and bring order to this life, help me to follow without wondering.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

David himself calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?” 

The large crowd listened to him with delight. 

“Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.44They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.” 

Lord God my Father, 

You are Lord overall. Free me from my sinful nature and deliver me to your order. Help me to walk in your Peace doing your plan and representing you well to me and my family. Thank you for your presence and discernment.  

In Jesus name I pray, 

Amen 

“Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.28Father, glorify your name!” 

I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, 

Lord God my Father, 

Your plan is Truth and perfect. I may not understand, I do want to be obedient. Help me to do your will without distraction and allow me to represent you well.  

In Jesus name I pray, 

Amen

 “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.”

 “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.10For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

 ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth.21I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’

“I tell you,”he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

“If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.43The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.44They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.”

Lord God my Father,

I want to hear from you what Zacchaeus heard, ” I must stay at your house today” You are always saying this, I am just not ready to hear it. Make me ready and allow your will to overwhelm mine. Help me to be wise with what you trust me with so it will multiply. I want to live in constant praise no matter the situation and cry out your name at all times. Use me, here I am.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

 ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius?14Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you.15Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’

Immediately they received their sight and followed him.

“Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.22If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

“Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.

Lord God my Father,

Your way is Peace and freedom, you are more fair than I can comprehend. Open my eyes so I may see your way and know it. Give me a faith that has no doubt and knows your ability. All things are possible without conditions. May I be at Peace with your way today and serve serve you without any reservation. I wish to only delight in all opportunities.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

 “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

 “Go,”said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.”

Lord God my Father,

You are everything, you can do anything, keep me under your will and pursuing your desires. Quiet my heart so your way becomes my way in all things.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

 “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”

“Father, I thank you that you have heard me.42I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”

Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

 “Receive your sight; your faith has healed you.”

Lord God my Father,

Your way is truth, protect me from doubt. You always are with me and hear my every cry. Give me confidence in your way so I don’t question. Give me faith that constantly cry’s out to you and believe you can do anything in my life.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

 For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light.

What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.

‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ”

“If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

Lord God my Father,

You are not of this world, you are perfect Love. Lord God, help me to represent your way in the present darkness so souls will be turned towards you. Bring value in loving you rather than self. Change the heart of this nation and bless us. May your light cover all darkness. I know your plan will end well in the end.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

“Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”

But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ ”

Lord God my Father,

Open my eyes so I may know your way and give me the wisdom and courage to follow you without compromise.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.”

I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.

Lord God my Father,

Your design is perfect and hard for us to understand. Help me to know you so I may follow you as you desire. My plans often get in the way of you so set me free from myself.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
