Holy Saturday

Holy Saturday

Saturday, April 4, 2026 – Holy Saturday

Scripture: Psalm 22

Scripture Summary:
A cry of deep anguish turns toward trust, remembering that God does not ultimately forsake.

Devotional:
Holy Saturday is the in-between day. The silence after the cross. The waiting before the resurrection. It’s the space where nothing seems to be happening, but everything is. We know this space well. Waiting for answers. Waiting for healing. Waiting for hope. Holy Saturday reminds us that even when God feels silent, God is still at work beneath the surface.

Prayer:
God, in the silence and waiting, help me to trust that You are still working. Amen.

Good Friday

03 Apr
Good Friday

Friday, April 3, 2026 – Good Friday

Scripture: John 18:1–19:42

Scripture Summary:
Jesus is arrested, tried, crucified, and laid in a tomb. Even in suffering, He remains faithful.

Devotional:
This is the day everything goes quiet. The hopes of the disciples seem to collapse under the weight of the cross. It’s called “Good Friday,” not because it feels good, but because God is still at work, even here. Even in suffering. Even in loss. Even in death. When we walk through our darkest moments, this day reminds us that God does not abandon us there. God is still Good.

Prayer:
God, when the world feels heavy and hope feels distant, remind me that you are still present. Amen.

Holy Thursday

02 Apr
Holy Thursday

Thursday, April 2, 2026 – Maundy Thursday

Scripture: John 13:1–17, 31–35

Scripture Summary:
Jesus washes the disciples’ feet and gives a new commandment: love one another as He has loved them.

Devotional:
On the night before the cross, Jesus kneels. He washes feet, dusty, tired, undeserving feet. This is love, not as a feeling, but as an action. Not as words, but as service. “Love one another,” Jesus says. Not when it’s easy. Not when it’s convenient. But as I have loved you. Holy Thursday calls us to a humble, sacrificial love that shows up and serves.

Prayer:
God, teach me to love not just in words, but in action. Amen.

Holy Wednesday

Holy Wednesday

Wednesday, April 1, 2026 – Holy Wednesday

Scripture: Matthew 26:14–25

Scripture Summary:
Judas agrees to betray Jesus, and during a meal, Jesus reveals that one of His own will hand Him over.

Devotional:
It’s one of the hardest moments in the story, betrayal from someone close. Holy Week doesn’t ignore the reality of broken trust and human weakness. Sometimes the deepest wounds come from those nearest to us. Yet even here, Jesus does not lash out or turn away. He continues to love, even knowing what is coming. This is the kind of love we are invited into, a love that remains, even when it hurts.

Prayer:
God, teach me to love with grace, even when I’ve been hurt. Amen.

Holy Tuesday

31 Mar
Holy Tuesday

Tuesday, March 31, 2026 – Holy Tuesday

Scripture: Psalm 118:1–2, 19–29

Scripture Summary:
A song of thanksgiving declares God’s enduring love. The rejected stone becomes the cornerstone, and the people rejoice in God’s saving work.

Devotional:
“The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” God has a way of taking what others overlook and turning it into something essential. Maybe you’ve felt overlooked, dismissed, or not enough. Holy Week reminds us that God sees what others miss. God redeems, restores, and rebuilds. What feels rejected is not wasted in God’s hands.

Prayer:
God, take the parts of my life that feel overlooked and build something new through them. Amen.

Holy Monday

Holy Monday

Monday, March 30, 2026 – Holy Monday

Scripture: Isaiah 50:4–9a

Scripture Summary:
The servant of God listens, endures suffering, and remains faithful even in the face of opposition and shame.

Devotional:
There are moments when faithfulness costs something. The servant in Isaiah does not turn away, even when life becomes difficult. Holy Week reminds us that following Jesus is not always easy, but God is near in every step. When we feel worn down, misunderstood, or tired, we are not alone. God strengthens us, steadies us, and helps us keep going.

Prayer:
God, give me the strength to remain faithful, even when the road is hard. Amen.

Palm

29 Mar
Palm

Sunday, March 29, 2026 – Palm Sunday

Scripture: Matthew 21:1–11

Scripture Summary:
Jesus enters Jerusalem not on a warhorse, but on a donkey. The crowds shout “Hosanna,” waving palm branches and laying down their cloaks, expecting a king who will save them.

Devotional:
It’s a strange kind of parade. Joy fills the air, but Jesus knows where this road leads. The same voices shouting “Hosanna” will soon grow quiet, and some will even turn away. Holy Week begins with celebration, but beneath it lies a deeper truth: God’s way of saving the world does not look like power or control, but rather humility and surrender. As we wave our palms today, we are invited not just to celebrate Jesus, but to follow him wherever this week may lead.

Prayer:
God, as we welcome Jesus, prepare our hearts not only for celebration, but for the journey ahead. Amen.

Waiting

28 Mar
Waiting

Saturday, March 28, 2026

Scripture: Psalm 130

Scripture Summary:
From the depths, the psalmist cries out to God, waiting and hoping in God’s steadfast love and redemption.

Devotional:
“Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord.”
There are days when that’s all we have, a cry from deep within. No polished words, no perfect prayers. Just honesty.
And the psalm reminds us, God hears. God is present. God’s love is steady, even when we’re not.
Waiting isn’t easy. But hope grows in that waiting. Not because everything changes right away, but because God remains faithful through it all.

Prayer:
God, hear my cry and hold me steady as I wait and hope in You. Amen.

Restored

Restored

Friday, March 27, 2026

Scripture: Ezekiel 37:1–14

Scripture Summary:
As Ezekiel speaks God’s word, the bones come together, and breath enters them, life is restored.

Devotional:
Notice the process: the bones come together, then the tendons, then the flesh, and finally the breath. Restoration doesn’t always happen all at once. Sometimes it comes in stages.
If you’re in a season where things are slowly coming back together, don’t rush it. Don’t dismiss it. God is still at work, even in the in-between.
What feels incomplete today may be part of something God is still bringing to life.

Prayer:
God, help me trust Your timing and see Your work even in the small steps. Amen.

Valley of Dry Bones

26 Mar
Valley of Dry Bones

Thursday, March 26, 2026

Scripture: Ezekiel 37:1–14

Scripture Summary:
Ezekiel is led into a valley of dry bones, where God promises to bring life back to what seems completely dead.

Devotional:
A valley full of dry bones, completely lifeless, scattered, beyond hope. And yet, God asks, “Can these bones live?”
Sometimes our lives feel like that valley. Things that once had life now feel dry: our energy, our faith, our relationships, our dreams.
But God specializes in breathing life into dry places. What looks finished to us is not finished to God.

Prayer:
God, breathe Your life into the dry places within me and restore what feels lost. Amen.
