Jesus, our Lord and Savior, help us take up our daily cross. We welcome the monotony that often marks our day, discomforts of all kinds, disappointments, tensions, setbacks and cares. You fell beneath the weight of Your cross to show us You understand when we fall. Help us, Lord, who try so hard to be good, but whose nature is constantly opposed to walking straight and tall down the narrow road of life. Remind us often that in carrying our cross, we carry Yours with You. Amen. “He grew up like a sapling before him, like a shoot from the parched earth. He had no majestic bearing to catch our eye, no beauty to draw us to him. He was spurned and avoided by men, a man of suffering, knowing pain...and we held him in no esteem.”
Isaiah 53:1-3 (NIV)
