“This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy. Listen to him.” 

“You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move.

“The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of his enemies. 23He will be killed, but on the third day he will be raised from the dead.” And the disciples were filled with grief.

But when the evil spirit saw Jesus, it threw the child into a violent convulsion, and he fell to the ground, 

“But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone hung around your neck.

But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.

Lord God my Father,

Allow me to hear you in all moments of this day, make me aware of what my decisions are based on. Remove my doubt and protect me from temptation, help me to see the blessing in the struggle, allow your power to cast out evil that is around and in me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
