21 Days of Prayer Devotional
Day 15
Brandon McKenzie / John 13
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY- John 13:23
One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to Him (Jesus). (Jn. 13:23 NIV)
Thought for the day
Brandon shares that taking time to simply be with Jesus in a posture of rest can give us endurance and allow us to receive more of His word. John was the only one who didn’t fully abandon Jesus at the cross and He was the longest living disciple. He also received the revelation of the last days and gave us the book of Revelation. Let us be more like John and recline on the Lord in prayer as much as possible.
Questions to ponder
-Do you struggle with simply being with the Lord without an agenda? Take time to ask the Lord to help you with this.
-Do you see yourself as “the one who Jesus loves?”
-When today can you get alone with Jesus? What can you do to put away distractions that you may simply be with Him?

Even with only 2 Take the City Outreaches under my belt, they have made such an impact in my own personal journey of faith, and others I have crossed paths with! The most special part to me is knowing that even if I meet someone and I never see them again, I know God has allowed me to touch their heart and plant a seed that I couldn’t have done sitting at home. I’m so thankful for this organization because it truly has allowed me to connect with others, with the goal of bringing them closer to Christ, while becoming closer with God myself at the same time.
