Hebrews 9:15, 24-28; Psalm 97:1-6; Mark 3:22-30

Seeing through the eyes of prayer

We can sometimes fall into the trap of demonising those whose actions or words we strongly disagree with or are threatened by. When this happens, as with the Pharisees, logic gets put to one side and we rely totally on emotion – often that of fear or of anger. We need to take the time to carefully pray through situations we find challenging in order that we may make an informed, faith-filled response.
