Lenten Prayers: A Journey Through the Upper Room
Every Sunday since Christmas we have been journeying with Jesus through John’s gospel. Jesus loved his disciples to the end, and John describes how Jesus gathered the disciples into an Upper Room to intentionally prepare them for his journey to the cross. In the crucible of his internal anguish, knowing the cup he would be asked to drink, Jesus poured out water and washed feet. Jesus taught the depth of God’s love, providing an image of deep nourishment to hold fast in the troubles that would come. Jesus abided with the disciples as he taught them how to abide with him.
In just over two weeks, Lent will begin. Over these weeks of Lent, we are going to journey with Jesus through the Upper Room every day through prayer.
Attached is the prayer guide we have developed for this journey. These prayers will also be uploaded onto our church Facebook page each day.
It is our hope and prayer that we will each personally deepen in our discipleship with Jesus, through the words of Jesus.
