Opening Prayer: Thank
you, Lord Jesus, for setting your face
to go to Jerusalem. Thank you for being
willing to pay the high cost for my sinfulness.
Give me the courage during this season to travel alongside you on your
journey to the cross, that I might more fully understand both the depths of my
sin and the depths of your love. I pray
in your Holy Name. Amen.
Scripture: Luke
9:51
Journal: What
do you think was going on in the mind and heart of Jesus as he set his face to go to Jerusalem? What
goes on within you as you hear those words?
What is your response to his willingness? Where is God calling you to that same type of
willingness?
Reflection:
A
pure heart is one that is unencumbered, unworried, uncommitted, and which does
not want its own way about anything but which, rather, is submerged in the
loving will of God, having denied self. ~Meister Eckhart
He gathered up his courage and steeled
himself for the journey to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51, The Message)
Prayers
Closing Prayer: O
Jesus, our Lord and Savior, thank you for your willingness. Thank you for your sacrifice. Thank you for your love. Thank you for the example you have given us
to follow. Give us hearts that are as
willing as yours. Amen.
