Prayer: Father, we saw the amazing display of Your love in the last chapters as we watched Jesus give Himself over to the cross to take the punishment for the sins of mankind. Let us be attentive to the rest of the story provided where we see His victory on display.  Let us go away with new hearts that are thoroughly convinced that You did all this for us. Let us embrace this personally – let us each call Jesus our savior.  We ask this in the precious name of our Lord, Jesus. Amen.

Prayer: Father, You give us the opportunity to walk with Jesus 2000 years ago through these chapters as He willingly goes to the cross to receive the penalty for our sins.  Let us reverently and courageously embrace all that You reveal here.  It is easy to categorize these events as tragic, human injustice. Instead, I pray that You open our hearts and open our minds to embrace the divine grace and the unconditional love that is on display. We ask this in the precious name of our Lord, Jesus. Amen.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, Sovereign Lord, Holy Spirit – bring us into this moment when You prepared Your disciples for what was to come.  They didn’t fully understand; we have no excuse. Open our hearts and our minds to receive Your Words with awe and wonder.   We ask this in the precious name of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus.  Amen.

Prayer: Holy Father – Thank You for Your Word. Bring us new life as we walk with Jesus and His disciples during this first Holy Week.  Our Lord knew… the disciples didn’t understand…  we are in various stages of working it out ourselves.  Fill us with Your Spirit and speak to us. We ask this in the precious name of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus.  Amen.

Prayer: Abba Father – we return to Your Word today in awe of You.  You tell us that You will not turn away any who turn to You. Some of us are slow in coming… tentative, at best, in staying… most of us are just confused in accepting such a wonderful message.  We have been too hurt… too damaged… by this world that we are slow to accept this good news as true.  Help us to fight the lies and deceit around us – open our hearts to hear what you are speaking to us today. Your words, Lord, bring life to us. We ask this in the name of Jesus.  Amen.

Prayer: Abba Father – we return to Your Word today in awe at the power contained within.  Open our eyes that we may see Jesus as He’s revealed in Scripture.  He is The Light in a dark world and He offers to open our eyes and remove us from the realm of Spiritual darkness.   Soften our hearts to humbly accept His offer.  Let us see the truth that You reveal in these chapters. We ask You for this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Prayer: Abba Father – we return to Your Word today for new revelation. Help us to humble ourselves to see Your will more clearly, so that we may submit ourselves to Your authority. For we live in a dark world and You, Lord Jesus, are the Light of the World. Open our eyes to the wisdom of following obediently in the ways of Our Savior Jesus.. We ask You for this in His name, Amen.
