Praying through Luke 23:2

Heavenly Father, as I consider Christ's trial before Pilate and the circumstances surrounding His crucifixion, I wonder if I would have been among those that accused Him or part of the believing remnant. Would I have denied Him or remained faithful? Thank You that by Your grace, I heard the gospel and believed on the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of my sins. Thank You that He was willing to face a barrage of false accusations and terrible suffering on my account. Thank You for 2000 years of grace. I pray that many more people would come to faith in His sacrificial death and glorious Resurrection in the brief time we have left on this earth. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.

“And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.”
(Luke 23:2)

Praying through Luke 23:3

Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus came as the Passover Lamb, the King of the Jews, and the Saviour of the world. Thank You that Your love for man was so great that He was willing to be despised, rejected, accused, and crucified, by those He came to save. He was willing to do this so that all who believe on Him would not perish but have everlasting life. I pray that I would be ready and willing to speak the truth in love and if necessary to suffer and die for the sake of Christ. Thank You that Your grace is sufficient and that Your power is made perfect in my weakness. Give me the courage to face the future and to be ready to give an answer for the hope I have in Christ, my Lord and my God, AMEN. 

“And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.”
(Luke 23:3)

Praying through Luke 23:26

Heavenly Father, thank You for the life and witness of Simon of Cyrene and the simple ministry he performed for the Lord Jesus, when he took up the Cross of Christ on his shoulder and followed Him all the way to Calvary. I pray that in Your grace and strength, I would be a disciple who denies myself and is willing to die to self, to live for Christ alone, and to take up my cross and follow Him. Father, I know that Christ alone had to pay the price for my sin on that Cross of Calvary, but I pray that I may be willing to suffer persecution and loss for His dear sake. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.

“And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.”
(Luke 23:26)

“Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.”

Thank You, Father, for the inestimable gift of salvation that is given to all that trust in the name of the Lord.

In His name I pray, AMEN.
