Scripture for the Third Wednesday in Lent

"But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." ~ Matthew 20:26-28

Lord God, Jesus came as a servant and sacrified His life for my sins. He told us that we must serve one another. I don't have to die to others, but I do have to die to sin. Thank You for His great sacrifice, giving me forgiveness of my sins and eternal life...

Scripture for the Second Tuesday in Lent

"The greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." ~ Matthew 23:11-12

Lord God, I am too much of the world. I want to be the leader, not the servant. But Jesus came among us as a servant, and Your Word tells us we must humble ourselves. Help me to put others before myself, to humble myself as a servant. In the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Amen.

"Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you.

"Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." ~ Matthew 5:44 (ESV)

Lord, it's easy to love those who love me and who do good to me. But it's so hard to love those who hurt me. Cleanse my heart of hatred and fill it with love for my enemies as well as my friends. In the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Amen.

Scripture for the Second Friday in Lent

"You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.'

"So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." ~ Matthew 7:12 (ESV)
