Let’s read aloud the following passages and prayer together:
Mark 1:14-15 (NIV)
14 After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. 15 “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”
2 Corinthians 6:2 (NIV)
2 For he says,
“In the time of my favor I heard you,
and in the day of salvation I helped you.”
I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.
Ephesians 3:20-21 (NIV)
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Prayer: Father, by your Spirit and your Word, proclaim over us and into us again today the good news of God – the kingdom of God has come near! Right now is the time of your favor, today is the day of your salvation! We believe your good news and we open our hands to receive your favor and salvation, more than we can ask or imagine and according to your power at work in us, in our lives right now. In Jesus’ name, amen.
