PRUMC Devotions

Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29 and Mark 11:1-11

As we enter the last weeks of Lent, we prepare to enter into Jerusalem with Jesus. This week, we anticipate his triumphant arrival into the city and his walk towards the cross. As we prepare for Sunday, let us pray the words of our Psalm for the week, 118. May these ancient hymns guide us into a deeper relationship with the divine.


O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his steadfast love endures forever! Let Israel say, “His steadfast love endures forever”-Psalm 118:1-2

Steadfast God,

Your love knows no bounds.

You came to earth as a human being, word made flesh, to share in our brokenness. We anticipate your arrival into Jerusalem, bringing a word of love to a world consumed with hate. We need your loving presence today, in our world, a world consumed with violence and consumerism. A world that draws us away from you.

During this time of Lenten devotion, help us to empty ourselves of greed and fill ourselves with gratitude. Along with the Psalmist, help us give thanks to you: thanks for your presence, thanks for your goodness, thanks for your eternal love. May your abundant love soothe our pains and inspire us to share it with others.
In your loving name we pray,

Amen.
