February 17th: Ash Wednesday

Scriptures: John 13:21-28; 19:17-30
Prayer of the Day: Holy Lord, just as Jesus humbled himself to serve his disciples and others, give us the same humility to serve in his name. Teach us to put others before ourselves that your name would be praised and all would know your love. As the disciple John walked with Jesus and learned from him, let your Holy Spirit fill our hearts with the knowledge of Christ’s ways that we might imitate him, showing mercy to all we meet. We pray this in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.

Scriptures: Psalm 92; Luke 6:1-16
Prayer of the Day: Lord of the Sabbath, Your followers were told not to work on the Sabbath, and yet they boldly plucked grain to show that you are Lord of all. The world tells us not to rest on the Sabbath. Show us how to rest boldly, rejecting conventions that go against your will, and instead of praying and resting as you did on the mountain, for the glory of your word and work, Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
