Daily Devotion
Listen: Now we will turn our focus towards Holy Week hearing stories of Jesus’ final days on earth. Please listen to a reading from “Journey to the Cross” by Helen Haidle called “Jesus Arrested”. This is based on Matthew 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-50; Luke 22:47-53; and John 18:1-12.
Respond: Peter wondered why all of this had to happen. When have you wondered why God allowed hard times in your life? Sometimes God lets things happen because he has an even greater plan than what we can see. This doesn’t mean that we can't be sad or angry when bad things happen, but we must have faith in God’s master plan. Listen to this song and know that ‘Gods got this’. You Got This
Prayer: Dear Lord, You know our steps. You know us inside and out and you have a plan. Lord, help us to trust your plan, even though it isn’t what we always want. God, you've got this.
Amen
