Key Scripture: Isaiah 53:5 (NIV)

he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
General Prayer Focus: Personal
Specific Prayer Focus: Revelation of the Cross
Prayer: Father, as we celebrate Easter and the Passion of Jesus Christ, I want to ask You for greater revelation of what Jesus did for me when He died on the cross. So often I’m sure I take His sacrifice for granted and I don’t realize the magnitude of His infinite love that He demonstrated for me on that day. It was truly a remarkable act of passion for mankind and for me personally and I really want the depth of all that it means to impact my heart! Father, I want to see and understand the beauty of Your Son Jesus and what He did for me on the cross! I ask that You would give to me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation that I would know Him more and grasp more deeply how He was pierced for my transgressions, crushed for my iniquity, punished so I could have peace with You, and wounded that I might be healed. Father, I pray that as I meditate on the cross and His sacrifice, that it would change and transform my heart and that His plan for redemption would be brought to completion in me – that not only would my transgressions and iniquity be forgiven, but that I would be set free from the bondage of sin and be made holy as He is holy. I pray that by His blood that was spilled, that I would enter into greater friendship and intimacy with You. I pray that by the stripes He bore on His body, that my body would be healed from all sickness and disease. Father, grant to me greater revelation and experiential knowledge of the benefits of the cross where Jesus died for me, in His Name. Amen!
