Dear God, We remember today, the pain and suffering of the cross, and all that Jesus was willing to endure, so we could be set free. He paid the price, such a great sacrifice, to offer us the gift of eternal life. Help us never to take for granted this huge gift of love on our behalf.
It’s called “Holy Week,” because for Christians, the journey from Palm Sunday to Easter commemorates the world-changing events that also change the life of anyone who identifies with Jesus Christ in His sacrificial suffering, death, burial and resurrection. For many, the week is characterized by much thought, worship and prayer. So here are eight prayers that can be prayed at any time, but may be helpful in driving home to your heart the profound meaning and blessing of this coming weekend:
Good Friday Prayers
Lord Jesus, as you were crucified between two thieves, one who ridiculed and one who repented, so let any sacrifice and suffering I may offer be a testimony both to skeptics and seekers (see Luke 23:33).
Since my old self was crucified with Jesus, so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, grant that I may no longer be a slave to sin, because anyone who has died has been set free from sin (Romans 6:6-7, NIV).
God, Your Word says that those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires; show it to be so in my life today (Galatians 5:24, NIV).
Father, in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world; remind me of that truth today (Galatians 6:14, NIV).
May your day be sprinkled with joy, your heart be light, and your path be filled with the promise of a fantastic weekend ahead. Embrace the Friday vibes!” “Hello, Friday! Wishing you a morning filled with positive energy, contagious smiles, and the anticipation of a day that brings you closer to your dreams.
Amen,
