00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:12.320
<v SPEAKER_00>On Holy Monday of this Passion Week, we reflect on Jesus cleared out what didn't belong in the temple.

00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:18.160
<v SPEAKER_00>He wanted to make space for prayer and for worship, free from distractions.

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:24.800
<v SPEAKER_00>But the religious leaders had made it more of a marketplace than a place to worship God.

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:33.840
<v SPEAKER_00>Even though we don't have to go to a temple for our worship and prayer, we still face many distractions today.

00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:37.200
<v SPEAKER_00>Take a moment to quiet your mind and heart.

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.280
<v SPEAKER_00>Jesus wants you to experience His presence.

00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.959
<v SPEAKER_00>Lord, thank you for your compassion.

00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:17.040
<v SPEAKER_00>Lord, thank you for your desire to spend time with me.

00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:29.519
<v SPEAKER_00>Lord, I know you want my heart to be free from distractions so I can experience your goodness.

00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:43.920
<v SPEAKER_00>What is one distraction challenging you today from your prayer and worship?

00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Ask God to silence it in this moment.

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:54.639
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen.
