The Triumphal Entry Of Jesus | Passion Week | Guided Prayers

Today, as we reflect on Palm Sunday, we're reminded of what we call Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem.

About a week before he would be crucified.

On this day, crowds gathered to welcome Jesus.

John 12, 13 describes that they took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, Hosanna, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Blessed is the King of Israel.

This crowd held specific expectations of what kind of king Jesus would be and how he would free them from Rome.

Take a moment to get honest with God about the expectations you bring when you think of his role and presence in your life today.

Lord, I praise you for your presence in my life.

Lord, you are my king, and I trust you.

As you reflect on the expectations you have about God, what is one way you can surrender to God today.

Create a space right now to think about a time when you sensed God's nearness to you.

Then, when you find that moment, ask God to help you trust Him more.

God, you are good.

We trust you and praise you for who you are.

Amen.
