Prayer Room
Day 38 – Maundy Thursday
So, Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. – Hebrews 9:28
As Jesus spent time in the garden of Gethsemane, He prayed in agony, knowing the weight of the sacrifice that was to come. Contemplate on the depth of Jesus’ sacrifice.

Day 37 – Holy Wednesday
“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbours together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. – Luke 15:3-7
When Jesus told the parable of the lost sheep, he said that the shepherd left the ninety-nine to go and look for his lost sheep. This is exactly what Jesus did and continues to do for us. Pray that we will become like the good shepherd. Pray that we will follow the heart of God to the lost and the destitute; sharing the good news of Jesus with them. Ask God to open your eyes and ears to the needs of the people around you.

Day 36 – Holy Tuesday
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations." – Jeremiah 1:5
Each one of us was created in the image of God. Ask God to remind you of this truth and pray that you will be courageous in sharing the truth that we were made in the image of God, with the people around you.

Day 35 – Holy Monday
We celebrate Holy Week in the anticipation of Christ’s death and resurrection. Pray that throughout this week you will deepen your understanding of the weight of Jesus’ sacrifice for you. Pray for those around you who don’t know Christ. Pray that they will come to know His unconditional love for them, demonstrated by the giving of His life on the cross.

On Sundays, we pause to anticipate the coming of Easter Sunday and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
And as they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. And he said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. Truly, I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” – Mark 14:22-25
