Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:19-20)
Jesus, there are so many “mountains” that block our path; help us keep our eyes and our attention on you rather than the problems we face. Then we will be able to speak to these “mountains” with faith and belief. Thank you.
“However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” (Matthew 17:21)
Holy Spirit, bring us in this diocese to a common life of prayer and fasting. Help us to be disciples who live out a daily discipline of prayer and restraint. Thank you.
Father, help us follow where your son Jesus is leading. Thank you.
A word received: I AM you shield and your hiding place.
