He stood up, took the mat with him, and kept walking.

He stayed where he was and waited for more proof.

He asked someone else to carry the mat for him.

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and cannot heal myself. I turn from my sin and from every stubborn place in my life. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I confess you as my Lord, and I ask you to raise me up and teach me to walk with you. Amen.

Receive the Lord Who Raises Up

Lord, revive your Church so we hear your word and respond at once. Where we have been lying down in fear, call us to rise; where we have held tightly to what should be left behind, teach us obedience; where we have grown sluggish, set our feet moving again, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Awaken Your Church to Obedience

Father, meet the one who feels weak, stuck, or unable to move forward. Strengthen body, mind, and spirit; lift what weighs them down; and give them grace for the next step today, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Lift Up the One Who Feels Stuck

Pray by naming one place where you need to rise instead of staying where you are. Ask Jesus for courage to take up what you must carry and for strength to keep walking in the direction he gives.

Pray for the Next Step

Give thanks for Jesus' restoring word, for his kindness toward the weak, and for the hope that his command can begin movement where there was none.

Thank You for a Restoring Word

Bring before God one delayed obedience, one burden you need to lift with his help, and one place where you want to keep moving. Ask for grace to hear and act without delay.

Steady Me to Walk With You
