Jesus went to the synagogue in Nazareth where he read from a scroll as he had done before. He read about what God had sent him to do. People were shocked that this was Joseph’s son and were saying lots of good things about him, but Jesus went on to say how he would never really be accepted in his own home town which made people angry – so angry in fact that they ran Jesus out of town – they wanted to kill him and had planned to throw him off a cliff, but Jesus walked straight through the crowd and went on his way.

Father in heaven watch over our loved ones.
Keep them by your side.

Give wisdom to the doctors and nurses too we pray,
renew their strength and bless them for the work they do each day. Send healing and restoration and let them feel your love.
May your Holy Spirit give them rest as gentle as a dove. Amen (Taken from Praying Together)
