Day 6 of the 40 Days of Prayer, 1 Day of Celebrations
Friday, February 23, Day 6 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:
John 15:6-10 So He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, “Lord, do You wash my feet?” Jesus answered and said to him, “What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand hereafter.” Peter said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.” Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.” Jesus said to him, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean…”
Prayer for the Day:
Oh Lord, You are gracious. We see that You washed the feet of all of the disciples, including the one who would betray You and the one who would deny You. Lord Jesus, like Simon Peter, You have also cleansed us completely by Your merciful work on the cross. We confess that You alone are the only way we can be pure before the Heavenly Father.
