A Prayer of the Day.
“We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our bodies. For while we live, we are always being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh. … Yes, everything is for your sake, so that grace, as it extends to more and more people, may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.” (2 Corinthians 4:8-11, 15 NRSV)

Lord, thank you for your death and resurrection. You who is righteous died for us who are sinners and make us righteous. You gave up the heaven and came to us in human form. You gave up almighty power and experienced hardships, sufferings, and pains as human. You humbled yourself, took the very nature of a servant, and served people. You wrapped a towel around the waist, and prepared water, washed the disciples' dirty feet. You did all these because of your love for us. This is who you are. This is our God. Thank you Lord for your amazing love and awesome grace. Your love is active, alive, and real, not just teaching nor philosophy. And, now you are calling us to follow you. Lord, help us to remember that we died on the cross with you and live with you in your resurrection. We are not able to serve like you did, but we can do it by the power of the Holy Spirit who lives in us, among us. So that people see that this is your work, not ours. May your glory be manifested. May your name be praised. In Jesus name. Amen.
