Lord Jesus
You set your face toward Jerusalem knowing full well what awaited you. Yet you persisted. We all face those threats and dangers to our peace if we hold the line of faith. Let us know your strength as we know your purpose. Let neither praise or condemnation detain us. There is great work to be done and nothing to stop us if we hold the line.
Give us the strength to continue and the heart to understand. Make this day count, Lord. No matter what it will bring. Amen.
