Dear Lord,
After Your humiliation, You walked steadfastly on
to a certain painful and brutal death.
You were afraid for You sweated blood with anguish,
but You still went on so that all those of us who truly believe
may rise to be with You at the end of our mortal journey.
We praise You and joyously give thanks to You for Your steadfastness.
Amen.

Evening

This is our God!

Sing hymns of praise to the LORD;
play music on the harp to our God.
He spreads clouds over the sky;
he provides rain for the earth
and makes grass grow on the hills.
He gives animals their food
and feeds the young ravens when they call.
His pleasure is not in strong horses,
nor his delight in brave soldiers;
but he takes pleasure in those who honour him,
in those who trust in his constant love

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
