LENTEN PRAYERS 2018: PRAYING THE DAILY GOSPEL

SEVENTH FRIDAY
John 13:36-38, 19:38-42

Jesus, our Teacher and Friend, many of us have followed You for a long time. We haven’t always understood where You were leading us, but we have tried to continue in your steps and learn from You.

In our history with You, we have failed You in so many ways that we are no longer tempted to make grand claims or promises. We are hesitant to say, “I will lay down my life for You!”

We may lay down our lives for You as we follow You in trust. We are willing, most days. But our confidence is in You, not in our own claims or our own performance. 

Strengthen our resolve to follow You no matter what trials or resistance we may face. Enable us to walk the way of the cross with You, in friendship and faith, for your glory. Amen.
