Praying From Matthew Chapter 12


    Loving Lord, let me not come to you as the scribes and the Pharisees saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you."

    Remind me this day of your answer to them: "An evil and adulterous generation demands a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights."

    Lord, Jesus, your death, burial, and resurrection stands as the ultimate sign of your power over all things though out time. I live in the power of that sign today.


    38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You." 39 But He answered them, "An evil and adulterous generation demands a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. (Matt. 12:38-40, HCSB)
