Praying from Mark 4:13. Themes: Understanding, Parables, Teaching

Dear Lord, help me to understand the parables that you have given us. Give me the wisdom and insight to comprehend the deeper meanings behind your teachings. Help me to apply these lessons to my life and to share them with others. May I never be too proud or stubborn to seek your guidance and understanding. Thank you for your love and grace. Amen.

Verse: He said to them,“Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
Mark 4:13

This is a Command. The verse commands the reader to understand the parable and implies that understanding this parable is necessary to understand all other parables.
