John 11:3 | DiscipleDeck

Bible Commentary

John 11:3

The sisters' message is a model of prayer — simple, honest, trusting. They didn't demand a miracle; they just brought the need to Jesus.

Memory phrase: Tell Jesus what you need.

Talk about it: When something bad happens, who is the first person you want to tell?

Prayer: Jesus, I bring my worries to You today, just like Mary and Martha did. I trust You.
