O God, tonight we come to You in silence. In the stillness, we sense Your presence and know You are near. We know Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us. He demonstrated His love on the cross, we receive that love tonight. We praise and honor You silence and peace. Amen.

God, we are awed at the mystery of Christ’s death and all He accomplished for us on the cross. We are humbled at His amazing love that gave His all so that we might live. Jesus said “It is finished”, tonight, we rest in His graceand are truly thankful. In His name, we pray. Amen.

O God, Jesus showed humble service in washing the feet of the apostles, humble obedience in submitting to Your will. May we be like Him, serve those around us, live for You, humble ourselves before You as we reach out to the poor, outcast, and suffering. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

O God, as Jesus offered Himself for us on the cross, so we offer our lives to You. May the words we speak, the actions we take, the inner workings of our hearts bring You joy. May our prayers rise like incense to You. We live for Christ who died for us and lives forevermore.

Preparing for Easter ~ Father, You promised a Messiah and He came, just as You said. We trust we can count on His promised return when we will join Him forever. Increase our faith and boldness to proclaim the truth of Jesus to the world. In His Name, we pray, Amen.
