Here’s the next double page of my praying through the bible journal. I feel sad that the church doesn’t always live up to the standards taught by Jesus. The point I have taken on board from this section is that I need to continue being persistent in prayer, seeking God’s kingdom and remembering that it is HIS harvest, not mine. I have my part to play, and I hope I will be faithful in this. I need to be like Mary, sitting at Jesus’ feet, listening to him, rather than being distracted by many things (albeit good things).

Thinking about Martha and Mary reminded me of the draft post that has been waiting on this site since the summer. So I published it yesterday. Click here to read it.
