Dear Father God, forgive me for not coming to this page first thing this morning. We've been 'visiting' all day. When I 'pray without ceasing' day in and day out it is sometimes difficult to remember to take special time to pray and mostly to listen.
Maundy Thursday. My heart and mind are focused on the events that happened to my Lord, Jesus Christ, during this day which is the beginning of his passion... and his amazing sacrifice for me and my sins! It makes me so conscious of my behaviors, my thoughts, my desires..
I know I cannot stop sinning. But I also know I can do a better job of resisting temptation.
God, saying thank you seems like so little compared to the sacrifice you and your Son did for me. For everyone on this earth. Too many people on earth don't follow you and try to live their lives in love... too much hate, anger and violence in our world.
My prayer today is that several people will come to you, believe in you and follow you because of your love spread all over creation. I am so grateful that even though I was unable to see Christ in person, put my fingers in the holes of his hands and his side, that YOU have blessed me with a huge faith so I can believe without having seen.
Thank you for another day. Thank you for the miracle of life and also the blessing of eternal life.
I am so glad you know my heart, as there are not words enough to express how I really feel.
In Jesus name,
Amen
