Day 2 of the 40 Days of Prayer, 1 Day of Celebration
Monday, February 19, Day 2 of the 40 Days of Prayer, 1 Day of Celebration: The 2018 prayer focus in preparation of our worship of Christ for His death for our sins and the celebration for His resurrection that gives us eternal life.
Verses of the Day:
Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him. Isaiah 53:4-6
Prayer for the Day:
We praise You God, for You have placed our sin on Your Son at the cross. We believe that You have brought everlasting forgiveness to us through His death. Not only this, but we see in Your Word that You caused Christ to bear our griefs and our sorrows as well. Focus my heart today on these glorious truths.
