Read through the Bible in 2 Years: Mark 1

I decided to switch around the order of the 2-Year Bible reading, so I could read some New Testament in the weeks leading up to Resurrection Sunday. So, if you’re reading along with me, let’s do Mark, 1-2 Peter, and James between now and March 31.

So, today I read Mark 1, and I was struck by verse 35,

And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, [Jesus] departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed.

Mark 1:35 ESV

If Jesus needed His Heavenly Father’s help, so do I.

If Jesus had a packed day ahead and woke up early to pray first, so should I.

If Jesus needed to pray, so do I.

How about you?

Heavenly Father, I need You every day and every hour. I need You early in the morning before life gets crazy because life is crazy. My family needs me to pray. My friends need me to pray. The lost world and my persecuted brothers and sisters need me to pray. Help me, Father, to seek Your wisdom and to sit at Your feet. I love You, Lord. Lead me in Your love and grace. In the Name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, Amen.
