Mark 6 - Praying God's Word

Please read Mark 6.

Meditate on what Jesus said in verse 31.

“Come away by yourselves to a secluded

 place and rest a while.”

In the midst of people taking offense, a cousin beheaded, and caring for thousands of people, Jesus gave the command to “come and rest.” Christ knew the importance of quiet times. Several times, Scripture records the LORD being alone to pray (Matthew 14:23; Mark 6:46; Luke 6:12). Ponder the fact that God Himself took time to rest in prayer.

Jesus extends the same invitation to you, calling you to Himself to breathe deeply and exhale slowly, absorbing His peace and letting go of stress and worry. Your quiet times with the LORD can be your favorite time of day, your time to get away from the coming and going, being nourished by God and His Word (v. 31).

Pray Mark 6:31 and 51 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, I accept Your invitation to come away

to a secluded place and rest a while. 

Help _______ to do the same. 

As we do, let us be utterly astonished by You.

In Your name, Jesus~”
