How is it that a Roman soldier recognized Jesus for who he was while his own people missed it? What am I missing?
PRAYER
Savior, on this holy day I honor you for the sacrifice that secured our salvation. Through your pain, you spoke to us. Forgive us for our failure to really hear what you were saying. Clean my ears out so I can hear the message of Good Friday and Easter freshly. Through the words of Good Friday the world changed and I'm glad to be a part of the change. Amen.
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.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
