Prayer based on Mark 2:22. Themes: Renewal, Transformation, Incompatibility.
Dear Lord,
We come before you today with hearts open and ready to receive your new wine. We know that you are constantly doing a new thing in our lives, and we want to be vessels that can hold and pour out your blessings.
Help us to let go of the old wineskins that have become rigid and inflexible. We don’t want to miss out on the new things you have in store for us because we are stuck in old ways of thinking and doing things.
We ask that you give us fresh wineskins, pliable and ready to be filled with your new wine. May we be open to your leading and willing to step out in faith, trusting that you will guide us every step of the way.
Thank you for your faithfulness and for the new things you are doing in our lives. We give you all the glory and honor.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Verse: No one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins.”
Mark 2:22
This is a Command. The verse commands the reader to not put new wine into old wineskins, but to put new wine into fresh wineskins.
