8 Family Prayers for EasterSample

Friday: Jesus Dies

Jesus, You were the one who freed us, but You were arrested.

You brought us justice, but You were put through an unjust, abusive trial.

You are all-powerful, but You chose to be overpowered.

You were sad and afraid, so we could have comfort and joy forever.

You were thirsty, so we could have Living Water.

You died in sudden darkness, so we could live in constant light.

You were rejected, so we could be accepted by God.

You were shamed and despised, so we could be honored and loved.

You were wounded and pierced, so we could be healed and whole.

You took God’s anger, so we could have peace forever.

You were defeated, so we could win over death and sin.

God turned away from You, so He could always be with us.

You died, so we could live.

Thank you, Jesus.
