35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. 36 Simon and his companions went to look for him, 37 and when they found him, they exclaimed: “Everyone is looking for you!” 38 Jesus replied, “Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.” 39 So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.

Dear friends
Prayer is one of the most relevant spiritual disciplines in the personal life of our Lord Jesus Christ. With the prayer Jesus exercised his intimacy with the Heavenly Father and motivated the disciples to seek a better relationship with God. Today, we are inspired and motivated by our Master to learn and take the path of prayer.
The whole Gospel of Mark shows us Jesus our savior, a victorious King, who came to fulfill the purpose given to him by God. The passage quoted shows us that good news in action, it shows us Christ fulfilling the mission that was given to him. But he is not alone, he is also accompanied by those who will be sent by him to continue this mission; Therefore, we can say that in the fulfillment of his mission, Jesus himself teaches his disciples how they should fulfill the mission.
We all know that the main and nobler purpose of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever, but this can not be fulfilled without knowing Christ, who has reconciled us with God so that we can exalt him, only through Christ can we enjoy of God forever, through the preaching of the gospel, then that is the mission of Christ and ours.

The mission of Christ is to proclaim, proclaim the gospel of repentance and faith in him. That is also our mission as children of God. But to fulfill our mission, like Christ, we must learn to depend on God in prayer, it is not our work, it is the work of God, and only he can carry it out, we recognize that when we depend on God in prayer. This will lead us to maintain the direction, to not change the course, if we know clearly what our mission is, which is given by God himself.
Going to the Lord's people, a people of every race, language and nation, the church of Christ, in our local community, but also in every place where we can testify of the gospel and those of God in time will listen and believe, and They will be united to our great family of the children of God.
Pray that God will give us repentance and faith in Christ, to live according to our mission, giving glory to his name, and rejoicing in him forever.
