Before preaching, healing, or casting out demons, Jesus prayed. Mark 1:35–39 shows us that His ministry was rooted in quiet communion with the Father. If prayer powered Jesus’ life, how much more should it drive ours? Today’s prayer calls us back to that foundation. If it stirs your spirit, help fan the flame by sharing it with your community and inviting others to seek God’s presence through prayer.

Prayer

Jesus, just as Your ministry was driven by prayer, I pray the ministries of our church will be driven by the power of prayer as well. Self-reliance in preaching the gospel is ineffective. We need the power of the Holy Spirit that comes from seeking Your face. Fill Your church with a desire to seek Your face. Draw us to Your feet. Fill our mouths and hearts with intercession. Bring us to intimacy with You. You’re the Lord of the church so fill it with prayers that’ll change the world. I ask this in Your name and for Your glory, amen.

Mark 1:35-39

Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Simon and his companions went to look for him, and when they found him, they exclaimed: “Everyone is looking for you!”

Jesus replied, “Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.” So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
