Get the app8 Family Prayers for EasterSample
If you’re like most Christian families, you’re busy finding the other sock or discovering what stickiness you just stepped in on the kitchen floor. But maybe, in the chaos of sports practices and making sure there’s toilet paper, you want to make sure you keep the most important thing the main thing.
What if you took 5 minutes each day for prayers for Easter and Holy Week, to remind your (slightly messy) family what this season’s been all about for centuries?
Palm Sunday: A Celebration
Jesus, we’re thankful for Palm Sunday, one of Your few days on earth when the world glimpsed Your true identity as King. Celebrations with donkeys and palm trees don’t begin to give You what You deserve.
But most of those who celebrated You on Sunday deserted You by Friday, the day of Your death. You weren’t the King who did what they were expecting. It can be hard to follow You when You don’t immediately relieve our pain, defeat our enemies, or give us what we most want.
Cause us to be loyal to You, choosing You as King every day, even when we don’t understand.
