Dwell Richly, Day 2
ย 

Today's reading: Mark 2

I can't get past this Word: "And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, 'Son, your sins are forgiven' " (v. 5). Jesus honors the faith of the friends by healing the paralyzed man. To me, this makes me think of the ministry of intercessory prayer. I have the privilege to bring to Jesus my family, friends, and neighbors who are in need. But how often do I neglect this privilege? What if, in prayer, I pictured myself like one of these men carrying their hurting friendโ€”or as the man himself (as others pray for me)?

What's your Word?
