7 Holy Week Prayers to Prepare Your Heart for the Passion of Christ
Most Easter holidays come and go with little more than a faint memory of colored eggs and candy baskets. This year, let’s make Holy Week a time to refocus our hearts on the Passion of Christ. Through daily prayers for each day of the Holy Week, let’s remember who we’re celebrating and the most wonderful gift we’ve ever been given.
Whether you use these Holy Week prayers in a church service, during your quiet personal time, or share with friends and family, may these words help you see reflection, repentance, and renewal as we approach the Easter celebration.
1. Palm Sunday: Prayer of Worship to Begin the Holy Week
Lord God, today we join the crowd of people mentioned in Matthew chapter 21, who spread palm branches on the road shouting, “Hosanna in the highest!” As we remember Jesus riding into Jerusalem on the colt of a donkey, we recognize the humility He displayed. Even though He was the King of Kings, He humbled himself as a gentle Savior. Help us to follow His example of humility and peace. To those around us, make us a light of Your love and a witness of Your Gospel. In Jesus’ name, amen.
