Scripture Reading

John 7:37-38

On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them."
Reflection
Jesus makes his invitation at the moment of greatest festivity and noise, calling the thirsty to come to him. True satisfaction is not found in the spectacle but in the Source. When the celebrations of life leave us strangely hollow, Christ's voice still cuts through the crowd: come, drink, be filled. Let your thirst draw you to him today, and let that living water overflow into the lives of others.
Prayer for Today
Dear Father, I pray that You will intervene in our marriage and that You will bring restoration to our broken relationship. Lord, as much as I am hurting right now due to my husband's infidelity, I pray that You will help me to forgive him as You have forgiven me for my sinful attitude towards him. Father, bind up the evil spirits that are behind our separation. I pray against the spirit of assassination that is looming over our marriage and I pray that my husband will return home. In Jesus' powerful and healing name. Amen.

Amen.
