In this guided prayer experience, we begin our journey through the Gospel of Mark by slowing down and making room for God.
Drawing from Mark 1:1–11, this 10-minute prayer invites us into the wilderness with John the Baptist and into the waters with Jesus—where the call to repentance prepares the way for the Lord. Through Scripture, brief reflection, and extended moments of prayerful listening, we are guided to turn our hearts back toward God, not in shame or fear, but in trust and grace.
Repentance is more than feeling sorry—it is a continual reorientation of our lives toward God. In this prayer, we ask the Holy Spirit to search us, renew our minds, and gently clear away anything that obstructs Jesus’ work in us.
This guided prayer is designed to be used throughout the week—whether in a quiet moment at home, during a commute, or as part of your daily devotional rhythm—as we prepare our hearts to become more like Jesus.
