Wednesday: Prophecy – Be Alert

Read: Mark 13:1-37

Prayer: Father, your Son predicted the Fall of Jerusalem, and it happened.  Your Son predicted his return – help me to be ready.  Help me to be alert.  While I wait, help me to be ready and watchful for opportunities to bear witness for Christ.  Help me not to get so weighed down with the cares of this life that I fail to be alert to your opportunities and your return.  Even so, come Lord Jesus!  Amen.

Reflect/Discuss: What keeps us from being more alert to his coming?

Praise: Sing “Christ Returneth!”

Tuesday: Priority – Love God and People

Read: Mark 12:28-34, 14:3-9

Prayer: Father, help me to love you with all of my life.  Help me to love you with my wealth, even offering extravagant gifts to you, like this woman did, out of love for you.  Help me to love you with my desires and my thoughts and my actions.  Help me to love the people you place in my life, sacrificing myself for them.  Help me to treat others with patience, kindness, and gentleness.  Help me to get over myself and love as Jesus loves me.

Reflect/Discuss: How do you need to get over yourself?  How can you express your love for God today?  Another person in your life?

Praise: Sing “My Jesus, I Love Thee”

Monday: Possessions – Give all to Him

Read: Mark 11:15-19, 12:13-17, 12:41-44

Prayer: Father, they dragged buying and selling even into your house.  How easy it is for me to get caught up in the buying and selling of our culture.  Help me be like the widow who willingly gave all to you.  All that I have is from you; it is yours – do with it as you please.  Even my life is from you, and you made me in your likeness, so help me give myself to you – even as your Son gave himself for me.  Amen.

Reflect/Discuss: What would it look like to live according to this prayer?

Praise: Sing “Take My Life”

Palm Sunday: Praise – Rejoice in the Messiah

Read: Mark 11:1-10

Prayer: Father, let me join the crowds and lift up my voice in praise to you.  Thank you for the coming kingdom – the great hope of a new heaven and earth where we will dwell in peace without suffering in the presence of our King.  Thank you for so many salvation blessings of which the crowds were completely unaware.  Awaken my soul to give you the glory and praise that is due you today.  Amen.

Reflect/Discuss: For what salvation blessings can you praise the Lord today?

Praise: Sing some of your favorite songs of praise to the Lord.
