Father, Palm Sunday is a reminder that the King of Kings died for my sins. Jesus did not look like the Messiah Your people hoped for. He came riding in on a donkey and spoke of peace. He didn’t come to conquer the government as a military warrior. He continued on to accomplish Your will, in peace, not panic. He came to bring us His Peace. Father, how quickly we forget he Peace we possess in Christ! Even on the hardest of day, remind us and surround us with Your Peace. Remind us, minute by minute, as we navigate difficult days and trying times. We can walk through trouble, trial, and pain because our Savior sustains us. He has already walked the most difficult path and died to defeat the death we deserve. All of the pain we experience on this earth is temporary, for those who embrace Him as Savior will be eternally with Him in heaven. In the same sacrificial way, let us be willing to take up our crosses daily, and lay down our lives for the people You have placed in them.

Amen

(For Palm Sunday, 2024)
