Psalms 103:1-22. Verse 2, exactly how does my tendency to forget God’s benefits operate on a typical day like today? What are the consequences? How can I counteract that forgetting?

Acts 21:37-22:29. Verse 12, for whom can I act the part of Ananias today, putting him or her in contact with Jesus to begin life anew?
Mark 11:12-19. Verse 17, what practical steps can i take to make my church—and my home and my workplace—more truly the houses of prayer that Jesus wants them to be?
