Old Testament Verse

See, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me.
Malachi 3:1

New Testament Verse

And the Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. He was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels waited on him.
Mark 1:12-13

Prayer

Thank you, Father, for sending Jesus to prepare the way of salvation for me. There certainly are wilderness days, even months, here on earth. Temptation is real and comes in many forms. Forgive my sins, O God. I praise you, for Jesus' death on the cross frees me to live a new life. I rejoice in you today. Amen.
