Hi, Friends, Here is the morning prayer…
Dear Lord,
Thank you for this day…this day
we call Palm Sunday…the day that starts the week where we remember your
death and all you suffered…we can visualize the heavy cross you carried
and the horrific brutality you endured…but all of that paled in
comparison to the weight you felt from our sins and the separation it
caused from your Heavenly Father.
Lord, we ask for all who are
reading this… may the meaning of this week speak to them as never
before. You tell us in your word that we should share in your suffering
and many here are doing that. They are bearing their own personal
crosses and it can be hard… many grow weary and tired and at times it
feels like they are falling under the heavy weight of their burdens…
many people wonder where you are in the midst of their suffering, but
you are right beside them. Seeing each tear…hearing each cry… reaching
out with outstretched arms and nail pierced hands…saying “I know and
understand”… you are there to help empower us to overcome with your
strength and might! Just as Jesus knew the victory that was coming after
all He endured, may each one praying, remember that suffering lasts for
a night, but joy comes in the morning.
You died to set us free…to give
us hope…to give us life everlasting, if we only believe! Help us to
remember that our reward is not just joy and happiness after grief and
trials have ended…but our reward is YOU!!
You don’t want to just protect
us or bless us, but you want to give us more of you. You are our great
reward. May that fill each one of us with peace and comfort, Lord.
Please go before us this day and stir within us a desire for you, like
we’ve never known. Change us and mold us and help us to see ourselves
and our lives, through your eyes.
May this week be a time of
reflection for us…may we view our pain, infirmities, hardships and
losses in the light of all that Jesus went through. May we think about
your great love for us and your incredible sacrifice. We thank you that
as you entered the city to great fanfare on that first Palm Sunday,
there is coming a day when you are going to triumphantly enter our world
again, with even greater fanfare, because every eye will behold you and
your resurrected glory. You are so worthy to be praised our Lord,
Savior, and King! We thank you that we have a Savior, in whose name we
can pray, Amen.
Blessings be upon you all!
In His love,
Debbie
