DEVOTION:
Luke 22:27–28
“But I am among you as one who serves. You are those who have stood by me in my trials.”
“But I am among you as one who serves. You are those who have stood by me in my trials.”
Prayer
Almighty and Holy God, as we move deeper into this sacred week, we feel the weight of it. Tomorrow we will gather around the table and remember bread broken, cup poured, and love given. Before we step into Maundy Thursday, we pause and ask You to prepare our hearts. Slow us down enough to notice, quiet us enough to listen, and soften us enough to receive what You are still trying to show us through Jesus.
Forgive us for how easily we rush through holy things. Draw us close again to Christ — not only to admire Him, but to follow Him. Teach us what it means to love when it is costly, to remain when it is hard, and to trust You even when the road ahead feels uncertain. And Lord, for those carrying sorrow, grief, regret, fear, or weariness this week, remind them that Jesus knows this road well. He is not distant from human pain — He entered it, carried it, and still meets us there. So keep us near the table, near the cross, and near the heart of Christ. May this holy week not simply be remembered, but may it change us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
