Part1: What Are You Leaving Out?
Mark 1:29-34 and 36-39

Busy, stressful days either strengthen our Faith or bind us from our Faith.
*Looking into the life of Jesus, we can discover what we tend to leave out:
*Jesus' Day:

  1. Spent a good portion of the day preaching and teaching in the Synagogue (vs 21)
  2. Cleansed and healed man of unclean spirit (vs 23-26)
  3. Arriving at Peter's house, He heals his mother-in-law
  4. At night people brought all the sick, etc. for Jesus to heal
  5. The entire city came to Him (vs 33) * (note vs 36-39 reveal that the next day in His work would be much of the same)
    *What is it we tend to leave out of our busy day? (vs 35)

Three Things Prayer Will Do For Us

1 Prayer Prepares Us

Most of us hit the floor running; but Jesus knew prayer would prepare Him for the coming day (Psalm 63:1)

2 Prayer Provides For Us

Jesus knew a great and divine truth: Preparing for the day with prayer would provide the strength to meet the demands of the day (John 18:4-6)
What was He doing prior to His arrest? Praying (Jer 33:3)

3 Prayer Paces Us

Jesus did not try to find time to pray: He made time to pray. (Matthew 6:34)

 

Do we not have enough facing us to begin each day in prayer? Are you leaving anything out?
