Good Friday
PSALM 119:36 (ABP)
Replace my appetite for acquiring more stuff with an appetite for your guidance and direction.
PHILIPPIANS 2:8 (ABP)
Christ humbled himself to the Father -- following his direction even though it led to his own death on a cross.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Like Christ, we're determined to follow God's direction -- no matter where it leads.
PRAYER
Victorious Savior, you stayed the course, following directions, even though you ended up on a cross. Thank you for being there for us. We admit that we take it all for granted and allow ourselves to be consumed with squeezing more out of life. Help me to take up your cross and follow you wherever you're leading. I'm going to take you seriously. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name; your Kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
