Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer
Today’s Reading: Psalm 44:17-26
Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:
LORD God,
when life is hard,
help me to remember to bring my complaints
and travails to you.
You are bigger than any agony
or grief I may face.
I call out to you,
my Savior,
and my God.
Amen.

Lent Reading:
Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives
Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives,
and his disciples followed him.
On reaching the place,
he said to them,
“Pray that you will not fall into temptation.”
He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them,
knelt down and prayed,
“Father, if you are willing,
take this cup from me;
yet not my will, but yours be done.”
An angel from heaven appeared to him
and strengthened him.
And being in anguish,
he prayed more earnestly,
and his sweat was like drops of blood
falling to the ground.
(Luke 22:39-44).

This is love:
not that we loved God,
but that he loved us and sent his Son
as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
(1 John 4:10 NIV)

Ideal for the Season of Lent
Watch the triumphal entry of the donkey-riding king through the eyes of Marcus Longinus, the centurion charged with keeping the streets from erupting into open rebellion.
Look behind the scenes at the political plotting of King Herod, known as the scheming Fox for his ruthless shrewdness.
Get a front-row seat to the confrontation between the Jewish high priest Caiaphas and the Roman governor Pontius Pilate.
Understand as never before the horror of the decision to save a brutal terrorist in order to condemn the peaceful Jew to death.
