Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

John 13:2-5
New International Version

Washing Disciples Feet
2 The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; 4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Matthew 26:26-30
New International Version

The Last Supper
26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”

30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Let Us Pray

Holy Thursday Prayer

Spirit of the Living God;

On this sacred night, we remember the holy meal Your Son shared with His disciples.
In the quiet of the upper room, bread was broken and the cup was blessed.
Love was poured out before blood was shed.
Service was shown before sacrifice was completed.

Lord Jesus,
On the night You were betrayed,
You gave us Yourself.
In simple bread and humble wine,
You offered the mystery of Your Body and Blood.
Teach us to receive this gift with awe,
gratitude, and faithful hearts.

As You knelt to wash the feet of Your friends,
wash us clean of pride and selfishness.
Give us the grace to serve one another with tenderness and humility.
May we love not only in word,
but in action and truth.

In this solemn hour,
when shadows lengthen and the cross draws near,
help us stay awake with You.
Keep us faithful when faith is tested.
Keep us near when fear tempts us to run.

May this Holy Thursday renew our devotion,
deepen our communion,
and strengthen our resolve to follow You—
from the table,
to the garden,
to the cross,
and into the glory of resurrection.

We ask this in Your holy name. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.

And we let it be…And so it is…

Amen, Amen, and Amen.

Crying Out…

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To Wholeness4 Comments

Greetings, Precious Family:

I pray this week’s post finds you in a place of peace. As we walk with our Lord, we walk knowing that we are never alone. I know that we have all gone through seasons in our lives where we may feel as though God has abandoned us.

One thing my mother would always say, when I felt that God’s presence was gone from my life, is that God never walks away from us, but instead it is us who have knowingly or unknowingly walk away.

In those times, it is we who must humbly cry out to God and ask Him to pull us from the place we have found ourselves. We may have fast, pray, and consecrate our lives back to God, just as the Prophet Joel spoke about in the Old Testament. Without fail, God will hear the sincerity in our cry.

Scriptures of Consecration

Joel 1:13-20

New International Version

A Call to Lamentation

13 Put on sackcloth, you priests, and mourn;
    wail, you who minister before the altar.
Come, spend the night in sackcloth,
    you who minister before my God;
for the grain offerings and drink offerings
    are withheld from the house of your God.
14 Declare a holy fast;
    call a sacred assembly.
Summon the elders
    and all who live in the land
to the house of the Lord your God,
    and cry out to the Lord.

15 Alas for that day!
    For the day of the Lord is near;
    it will come like destruction from the Almighty.[a]

16 Has not the food been cut off
    before our very eyes—
joy and gladness
    from the house of our God?
17 The seeds are shriveled
    beneath the clods.[b]
The storehouses are in ruins,
    the granaries have been broken down,
    for the grain has dried up.
18 How the cattle moan!
    The herds mill about
because they have no pasture;
    even the flocks of sheep are suffering.

19 To you, Lord, I call,
    for fire has devoured the pastures in the wilderness
    and flames have burned up all the trees of the field.
20 Even the wild animals pant for you;
    the streams of water have dried up
    and fire has devoured the pastures in the wilderness.

Family, may we all be in a place that we are so close to God’s heart that we can hear in the whisper.

I love you all with the amazing and everlasting love of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus Christ.

Your sister,
