Before Jesus started his earthly ministry, He was baptized and spent 40 days fasting and praying. Before He faced His greatest trial on the cross, He prayed all night. Over and over throughout the Bible, we see that Jesus prayed first, then did whatever was needed. We want to pattern our lives to match the patterns of Christ’s — this year, let‘s pray first.

Thank you to all who serve and make The Well great!

Through the prophet Jeremiah, God told the Israelites who were living abroad to pray and work for the peace and prosperity of the city/nation where He had sent them into exile, because its welfare would determine their own (see Jeremiah 29:7). That can help us understand the weight of our own civic responsibility today. But if we aren’t careful, we can overemphasize civic responsibility and lose sight of God’s promises and sovereignty.
