Day 21: Luke 23:46 46 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having said this he breathed his last. Prayer Lesson: Jesus’ final words on the cross were acknowledging that He had done what the Father had sent Him to do. And then He “breathed his last.” He died to pay for the price of sin. Thanks be to God that breathing His last did not me...

Day 20: Matthew 27:46 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Prayer Lesson: Yesterday we looked at one of the most moving moments of Jesus on the cross. Today we see one of the most shocking. Jesus asks God, “Why have you forsaken me?” We saw in Gethsemane that Jesus was on board with...

Day 19: Luke 23:34 34 And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments. Prayer Lesson: One of the most moving moments when Jesus was on the cross, dying an agonizing death for our sins, was when He prayed that God would forgive the people who put Him there. He would then go on and forgive the thief next to Him, who earlier had been m...

Day 18: Luke 22:44 44 And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. Prayer Lesson: Solomon tells us in Ecclesiastes 3:1, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” In v. 4 he goes on to say, “a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.” Life isn’t always lived...

Day 17: Luke 22:43 43 And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. Prayer Lesson: Jesus prayed and God sendt an angel to strengthen Him. We don’t know how this angel strengthened Jesus, but he did. It begs the question, does God send angels in response to our prayers? We do have an example from the Old Testament. According to Daniel 10, Daniel prayed for help and God sent Mic...

Day 16: Luke 22:41-42 41 And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” Prayer Lesson: Sometimes prayer is a clash of wills. We have desires but they don’t always match up with God’s desires. Scripture says that God will give us the desires of our heart (Psa...

Day 15: Luke 22:39-40, 45-46 39 And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. 40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” 45 And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, 46 and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may n...

Luke 22:39-46, 23:33, 23:44-46; Matthew 27:46

Day 14: John 17:25-26 25 “O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.” Prayer Lesson: The end of Jesus’ priestly prayer is a reminder that we have the love of God when we have embraced t...

Day 13: John 17:24 24 “Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.” Prayer Lesson: This verse is a reminder that Jesus has existed for eternity (“you loved me before the foundation of the world”). And it’s only through Jesus that anyone can spend eternity with the...

Day 12: John 17:20-23 20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me,...

Day 11: John 17:14-19 14 “I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, so I have...

Day 10: John 17:6-13 6 “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. 8 For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed tha...

Day 9: John 17:1-5 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on ear...

Day 8: John 17:1,6,20 1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you.” 6 “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.” 20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe...

Day 7: Matthew 6:14-15 “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Prayer Lesson: In vs. 14-15, Jesus moves from an example of prayer to a condition of prayer. Jesus is saying that our unwillingness to forgive others will impact our prayer life. An unfo...
