St. Martha

As they continued their journey he entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary (who) sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me." The Lord said to her in reply, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her" (Luke 10: 38-42).

Christ shows us just how important prayer is here. He praises Mary for her friendship and for talking with Him. It is so easy to forget that Christ wants to talk with us. He wants to be our friend. 

Lord Jesus, I want to be a faithful friend who talks with You every day.
