SPEAKER_00: On Holy Monday of this Passion Week, we reflect on Jesus cleared out what didn't belong in the temple.
SPEAKER_00: He wanted to make space for prayer and for worship, free from distractions.
SPEAKER_00: But the religious leaders had made it more of a marketplace than a place to worship God.
SPEAKER_00: Even though we don't have to go to a temple for our worship and prayer, we still face many distractions today.
SPEAKER_00: Take a moment to quiet your mind and heart.
SPEAKER_00: Jesus wants you to experience His presence.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, thank you for your compassion.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, thank you for your desire to spend time with me.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I know you want my heart to be free from distractions so I can experience your goodness.
SPEAKER_00: What is one distraction challenging you today from your prayer and worship?
SPEAKER_00: Ask God to silence it in this moment.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
