Recommended prayers and scriptures

John 12:1-12
Tuesday: Dear God, by the passion of your blessed Son you made death a tool to be used as a means of life. Help us to love the cross of Christ, so that we may gladly suffer shame and loss for the sake of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
John 12:20-36

Thursday: Almighty Father, Your Son, on the night before he suffered, gathered with His disciples. Give us the wisdom to make the company of Your people the constant habit of our lives, that in the days of trial we will be strengthened by the fellowship of the godly. In Jesus Name, Amen.
