Day 39 of the 40 Days of Prayer, 1 Day of Celebrations
Wednesday, March 28, Day 39 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:
Matthew 27:45-51 Now from the sixth hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour. 46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” 47 And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, began saying, “This man is calling for Elijah.” 48 Immediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge, he filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink. 49 But the rest of them said, “Let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him.” 50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. 51 And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split.
Prayer for the Day:
I'm forgiven because You were forsaken. I'm accepted, You were condemned. I'm alive and well. Your spirit is within me. Because You died and rose again. Amazing love, how can it be, that You my King would die for me. Amazing love, I know it’s true. It’s my joy to honor You. In all I do, I honor You. (from the words of the song, Amazing Love by Chris Tomlin)
