A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, April 20

Good Morning, God,
Lord, we've seen the signs in the store and bank windows: "Closed on Good Friday" or "Closed at noon on Good Friday." We have seen and heard the announcements about the Dubois County Minsters conducting the noon Good Friday service at the Presbyterian Church this year. We who know Jesus Christ and love him and worship you, God, consider all Good Friday services as important times to be in church to honor you and what you did for us.
Heavenly Father, we are humbled by this time of the year. We walk with Jesus much closer during this week, especially tomorrow evening with the Lord's Last Supper, then Friday with the remembrance of Jesus' crucifixion, then the blackness of Saturday, only to awaken with joy, gladness and celebration on Sunday, Jesus' resurrection Day!
Gracious God, may we faithfully give you praise, honor, and glory always, but especially these next five days.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
