Friday 22nd April - The cross

Good evening, today has been such a blessing and I have really known the presence of the Lord truly with me. This morning we got up and took things slowly and went to church. Church was a real blessing and a great time to reflect upon what Christ has done for us. I loved singing the praises of the Lord with His people. We have then come to Anne's parents for a few days and we have enjoyed spending time with family and having a relaxing evening. We are both feeling quite tired and so an early night is in order. We are physically well and mentally feeling excellent and trusting in the Lord.

Good Friday reminds us of the sacrifice Christ is for us and we can gain eternal life. I loved the song we sang at the end of church and want to quote this instead of a verse. Its called 'When I survey the Wondrous Cross' and says 'see from his head, His hands, His feet. Sorrow and love flow mingled down, Did e'er such love and sorrow meet or thorns compose so rich a crown. Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were an offering far too small, love so amazing, so divine. Demands my soul, my life my all.'What a sacrifice Christ was and what a response we need to give.

Verse of the day: 1 Peter 3 v 18

Prayer of the day: Praise the Lord for the grace and sacrifice He has given us. Praise the Lord for our sins being dealt with and the hope we have. Pray for the chemotherapy to work believing and humbly by the mighty hand of God and for Him to heal me of this cancer. Pray for a good nights sleep and for us to be able to feel refreshed in the morning. Pray for God to take the chest infection. Pray for our families as they walk with the Lord through this. Pray for people to realise their need of Christ this Easter.
