“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

 Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Lord God my Father,

You are greater than all creation and with you all things are possible. Help me to remove the limits I put on your authority that lives in me. Show me how to reach the world as you desire and make a path to you for the lost to follow. Give me faith as you designed it and protect me from the deceiver that distracts me. Help me to believe.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
