Mark 1:9-15

Prayer for the Day:
Lord, we often echo the words of scripture: We believe, help our unbelief. When we come to know you and believe in your goodness we are soon confronted by the things in our lives that must change in the light of your grace. Help us, O God, to find the place where belief and repentance are one in the same, where our lives proclaim our belief in your goodness and mercy. Amen

Question for reflection:
When have you found yourself resisting repentance?

– Josh Brockway, Director Spiritual Life & Discipleship
