Message:
Jesus, thank You for demonstrating what true humility looks like. Although being God, You humbled Yourself in every possible way. Even Your entrance into Jerusalem was an act of faithful obedience to the will of God. So as I reflect on what has become known as Palm Sunday, please help me to never forget what this day truly means. And please give me a deeper understanding of Your humility and sacrificial love. Amen.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude and reverence for the incredible example of humility that You set for us. In a world that often celebrates pride and self-importance, Your entrance into Jerusalem stands as a profound reminder of what it means to serve others and to submit fully to the divine will. Thank You for not only telling us about humility but for showing us how it is done. You, the Creator of the universe, chose to enter a city as a humble servant rather than in the glory that was rightly Yours. This act of love and obedience transcends time, and I ask that You instill within me a similar disposition.
As I reflect on this moment in history, I find myself often caught up in my own concerns and desires. Forgive me for the times when I have placed my needs above others, forgetting the importance of humility and servitude. Help me to align my heart with Yours and to seek opportunities to serve rather than be served. Instill in me a willingness to choose the path of humility even when it seems difficult. Let the spirit of service and selflessness fill my heart so that I may not only think of myself but genuinely care for those around me.
Lord, I desire to embody Your love and light in every area of my life. As I witness the struggles and suffering of others, grant me the courage to act in accordance with Your will. May I continuously strive to bring joy and comfort to those in need. Let my thoughts, words, and actions reflect Your love, drawing others to You through the humility that You have demonstrated. I pray for a deeper understanding of what it means to love sacrificially, even when it challenges me. May my life be a testament of Your grace and kindness, a living prayer that echoes Your humility.
Thank You, Lord, for Your unwavering presence and guidance. I place my trust in You as I seek to live out the lessons of humility that You embody. Please lead me today and always. Amen.
Jackie
