Palm Sunday   
Image of Jesus riding on a donkey and prople waving palm branches
 
“A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
 
Let us Pray: Heavenly Father, we thank you for sending Jesus to enter our world with a mission grounded in love and redemption. Help us, Lord, to examine our hearts and cast out any agenda that competes with your will. Fill us with the same humility that Jesus showed as he walked toward the cross. Teach us to worship with our lives, not only with our songs and palms but through acts of mercy, justice, and self-giving service. Empower us through the Holy Spirit to pursue a Jesus-shaped mission in every season of life, for the glory of the kingdom and the salvation of all humankind. In the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, we pray, Amen.
