Matthew 4:1-11

Prayer for the Day:
Challenge us, Great Teacher, to test ourselves daily. Not as the devil tests Jesus but make space to think and clear the cobwebs of our everyday routine. We need to take this time, not to prove anything, but to learn about ourselves through moments with you. Amen.

Question for reflection:
What is a daily test or “check-in” that you can do with yourself and God? When could you find time each day to do this? Would you do it?
