Gracious Lord, who went throughout the countryside to declare the good news, remind us of the good news as well, that our hearts would be encouraged in the midst of struggle and we would turn and lean on your kindness and love this day and always, through you who lives and reigns in perfect joy and harmony with the Father and Holy Spirit in heaven. Amen.
‘Jesus went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and curing every disease and every sickness among the people.’ – Matthew 4:23
