My God, my God, why have you
deserted me?
Why are you so far away?
Won't you listen to my groans
and come to my rescue?
MARK 15:38 (NLT)
And the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
The isolation Jesus felt on the cross resulted in access to God for us.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
DAILY FODDER
What is the significance of the tearing of the temple curtain when Jesus died?
PRAYER
My God, my God, thank you for tearing open any barrier that keeps us apart. You know so well that when I despair, I question your care. My groaning becomes a curtain and makes me uncertain and forsaken. Open me to your grace and let me see your face in every place. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)

and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
