Text: Isaiah 53:9, Zechariah 12:10, Luke 23:50-56, John 19:31-42
As we walk through this season of reflection and repentance together, we want to provide time and space for us as individuals and a community to meditate on God’s Word and bow at His feet in prayer.
Each Saturday during Lent we will read a brief passage of Scripture and a corporate prayer, both carefully chosen for this specific place in our Lenten journey. Sundays will be dedicated to scripture memorization, one of our favorite habits here at She Reads Truth.
We pray you will not only meet with the Savior on these quieter weekend days, but linger there with Him, in prayer and in His Word.
O God, Creator of heaven and earth: Grant that, as the crucified body of your dear Son was laid in the tomb and rested on this holy Sabbath, so we may await with him the coming of the third day, and rise with him to newness of life; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
– from The Book of Common Prayer
I love the picture at the end, it gives me chills. Sunday is coming!!!! Yes, yes, yes!!! This is what it is all about. Stay tuned the best is yet to come!
Please be praying for my friend Jordan as she is begining to understand who God is and all He can do in her life, and that her boyfriend will soon follow! It's been rough for me because they are so unsure about where they stand with God, and I just want them to understand that God is for EVERONE. Thank you, I am a strong believer in the prayers of She Reads Truth-ers!!
Good afternoon ladies. I recently learned that had Joseph not asked for Jesus’ body that He would’ve ended up in a mass grave (made me think of the horrors of the Holocaust), with no chance for a proper burial. I had never realized this and it touched my heart deeply. I gleaned this from a video of an amazing sermon given on Easter Sunday 2011 by Pastor Andy Stanley, showed at church a few weeks ago. If you have the opportunity to watch this video, you won’t be disappointed! Just wanted to throw that out there since it blessed my socks off to hear such inspired teaching and connects to today’s readings.
Waiting for tomorrow . . . with a full, grateful heart today. SRT, thank you for leading us during this whole study in preparing our hearts for tomorrow!
I love how every prophecy about the Messiah was completely fulfilled in Jesus. Our pastor has done a wonderful job of showing us how impossible it would have been for a person to “fake” the fulfilling of every prophecy. For example, Jesus could not have controlled whether or not his bones were broken and side was pierced after his death, but just as the prophecy stated, it was done. We can have full confidence in Jesus, knowing that he is who he claims. Tomorrow, let us proclaim it… He is risen indeed!!
Provide evidence for these prophecies. Jesus is a name, not now or has even been a real person in the Church sense. Just the input of someone with a brain.
It’s amazing how the devil rears his ugliness in a place meant to draw those closer to God. That only means SRT is doing things right for the glory of God!! Keep up the good work!
Thank you SRT & these sisters- this has been an awesome Lenten devotion- so enjoyed the live and fellowship -praying for everyone!!
Thank you so much for this Lent season . It has brought me closer to Jesus . I love reading others comments as well .
This is a great community and I share the photo devotions daily with my prayer group .
I'm looking forward to the next study lesson you ladies have plan …………… are we going to do lessons on Jesus being on earth for 40 days ?
Thank you for your hard work each day for us .
So blessed by the amazing and full love of Jesus, that He would give all He had for me. God literally gave up the most important thing that exists for our salvation: His own Son. There is nothing He cannot ask of us: are greatest sacrifices pale in comparison.
