PRAYER DIRECTION:
This teacher asked a genuine question that we may have all asked at one point: What is the most important command? Jesus answered simply yet profoundly, saying the first command is to know that God is the one true God and to love Him with every facet of our being—heart, soul, mind, and strength. The second one is to love your neighbor as yourself. The greatest command is not about the works we do to make ourselves worthy or holy, but it is about the posture of our hearts toward God and how we treat those around us.
PRAYER OF FIRST LOVE:
God, I pray that I am able to live out the greatest command every day. Help me to love You, the one true living God, with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Guide my thoughts, words, and actions so they reflect Your love. Teach me to love my neighbor as myself. Give me the grace to see others through Your eyes, and help me to be understanding and compassionate. Let the way that I love others be a reflection of how You love me.

About this Plan
The Gospel of Mark is considered by some to be the most important of the “synoptic” gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John), mainly because it was the earliest written. With brevity and urgency, John Mark describes the birth, life, work and teachings of Jesus Christ. Highlighted with action and vivid storytelling, this Gospel underscores the transformative power of faith and encourages us to remain steadfast in our commitment to Christ.
