Midday Prayer on Isaiah 53:4-5

“Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.”

Isaiah 53:4-5 · KJV

The prayer

Written prayer

Dear Lord, today on this Good Friday, I am mindful of the sacrifice it took to redeem mankind. You forfeited the throne and exchanged it for a cross, all so I could be saved. That is a heavy truth that I will not easily forget. Keep your cross on my mind all day today. I want to feel the gravity of your work on that hill. Let it affect me deeply today, so I might fully experience Easter's joy.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
