Prayer based on Mark 7:9. Themes: Rejection, Commandment, Tradition.
Dear Lord, please help me to never reject your commandments in order to uphold my own traditions. May I always seek to follow your will and ways above all else. Give me the strength and wisdom to discern between what is truly important and what is simply a human tradition. Help me to honor you in all that I do and to live a life that is pleasing to you. Amen.
Verse: He said to them,“Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.
Mark 7:9
This is a Command. The verse is a rebuke from Jesus to the Pharisees for prioritizing their traditions over God’s commandments. There is no promise in this verse.
