Mark 11:27-33

Question for reflection:
The elders and church leaders were put on the spot. How often do we rise and acknowledge that our dedication and strength comes through Jesus and the One who sent him?

Prayer for the day:
Creator God, we know You are our strength and source of power. Be with us today in helping us remember our ability to heal, to wonder, to achieve because of your faithfulness, that which is given through you, our Source. ~ Amen

~ Kristen Hoffman, Coordinator of CCS and National Junior High Conference

Prayer for the day:

Lord, I trust my mind, body, and spirit to you. You are the source of grace and bring peace to my soul. Thank you.

Tired? Stressed? Burned out? What are ways you connect with the unforced rhythms of grace to nurture body, mind and soul?
