Day 32 of the 40 Days of Prayer, 1 Day of Celebrations
Wednesday, March 21, Day 32 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 for the Day:
John 19:7-11 The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He made Himself out to be the Son of God.” Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid; and he entered into the Praetorium again and said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. So Pilate said to Him, “You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?” Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”
Prayer for the Day:
Jesus Christ, all power, honor and authority belong to You. You had authority over Your own life in this moment when the religious and political leaders of Your day felt empowered over You. You ascended back to Your place of glory, where You reign over the universe. Reign over me. May I give to You Your rightful place of authority over my life both now and forever.
