Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the Lord, is coming; it is near, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness! Like blackness, there is spread upon the mountains a great and powerful people; their like has never been before, nor will be again after them through the years of all generations. “Yet even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; and rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and he relents over disaster.” Joel 2:1-2, 12-13 Confession: Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. Amen. Psalm 51:1-2,6,10-12 Prayer starter: Heavenly Father, glory, and honor be to your name, thank you for giving me another day. Fill me with wisdom and understanding of your words as I seek you out today. Forgive me of my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteous. Allow me to hear your voice in the stillness of my study this morning. In Jesus’ name, I pray Amen. Read the scripture out loud: At once, the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness, and he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted[a] by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him. After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” Mark 1:12-15 Read the scripture slowly: At once the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness, | and he was in the wilderness forty days, | being tempted[a] by Satan. |He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him. | After John was put in prison, |Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. | “The time has come,” he said. | “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” Write the scripture out below: Reflection: How does this scripture speak to my heart? Complete your discipline tracker
