Tuesday: Loving Others as Jesus
Lord, You knew loving and obeying Your Father and loving us would lead You right into Your death. But You didn’t back down, hide, or love less.
Thank You for keeping Your eyes on bigger rewards, like bringing us back to You, overthrowing death’s power on this planet, and the eternal honor You deserve from God (Philippians 2:5-10; Hebrews 2:9-10, 12:3). Thank You for trusting God and moving out in courage, rather than being held back by the fear You faced (Luke 22:41-44).
In the ways we love others, help us to be brave and self-sacrificing. Don’t let us lose sight of the long-term rewards for obeying and loving You. We know You never turn away from us (Matthew 28:20, Hebrews 13:5-6). Thank You that we never have to do the hard things (or the easy things) alone.

Like most holidays, it’s easy to get caught in the busyness and miss what it’s truly about. Take 5 minutes each day this Holy Week and pray these eight prayers as a family.
