Good morning. In today’s reading, Jesus teaches His disciples to pray with bold persistence, warns against every form of hypocrisy, and reminds us not to fear man but to fear God—who knows us intimately and cares for us infinitely. Amid greed, worry, and the pull of lesser things, He calls us to seek His kingdom first.
Before you begin
