Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”
Today’s Reading: Psalm 77:16-20 (NIV)*
Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:
LORD God,
I am facing some difficult challenges.
Give me the faith and the courage to keep going.
I trust you will bring me through—
through hell and high water
by the power of Jesus.
Amen.

Gospel Reading:
A Mother’s Request
Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus
with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him.
“What is it you want?” he asked.
She said,
“Grant that one of these two sons of mine
may sit at your right and the other
at your left in your kingdom.”
“You don’t know what you are asking,”
Jesus said to them.
“Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?”
“We can,” they answered.
Jesus said to them,
“You will indeed drink from my cup,
but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant.
These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.”
When the ten heard about this,
they were indignant with the two brothers.
Jesus called them together and said,
“You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them,
and their high officials exercise authority over them.
Not so with you.
Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served,
but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
(Matthew 20:20-28).

Dear friends,
if our hearts do not condemn us,
we have confidence before God
and receive from him anything we ask,
because we keep his commands
and do what pleases him.
(1 John 3:21-22 NIV)
