SCRIPTURE
20 As they passed by in the morning,
they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots.
21 And Peter remembered and said to him,
"Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered."
22 And Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.
23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain,
'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart,
but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer,
believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
25 And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone,
so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."
~ Mark 11:20-25 (ESV)
PRAYER
Our Father in heaven
Holy be your name
Creator of heaven and earth
Ruler of all creation
Father, forgive us for lacking faith in you
Forgive us of not completely believing in you
Forgive us for trusting ourselves more than trusting in you
Enable us to forgive those who have wronged and hurt us, and
Forgive them as well; let them know you are the judge and authority of our lives
You alone are the perfecter of us
Father, enable us to know you
Enable us to have faith in you
Enable us to live and worship you in spirit and truth
Father, may your Word be taught to us well and pure
Father, thank you for watching over us
May we glorify you in our jobs and every area of our lives
In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.
