Let Us Pray
Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the LORD. (Psalm 118:19)
O King who comes in the name of the Lord, through Your birth and death, earth and heaven were joined together in peace. May Your coming as King into Jerusalem in humility on the donkey help us to see that You continue to come to us as our King hidden in humble water, humble words, humble food; for You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Stewardship Thought (LCMS Office of Stewardship)
1 Peter 5:7 – “…casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.” We have a Father in heaven – and He really cares for us and loves us. That is the basis of generosity, because such knowledge spells the end of anxiety and worry, which is where tight-fisted greed comes from.

Witness & Outreach Thought (LCMS Witness & Outreach Ministry)
John 17:1-11: On this last Sunday of the Easter Season, we hear Jesus praying His High Priestly Prayer, and He’s praying for you; He’s praying for your church family.  He wants you to be people of His Word and Name unified as one Body with Him as the Head.  His Body should function as ONE with Him as the Head and every member of the Body having a unique but unified function together as one for the purpose of His Kingdom.  Read John 17 once again today at home, and then pray for His will to be first done in your individual life and collectively as a unified church family.  Pray that your life would be an answer to Jesus’ prayer that His will may be done to carry out His purpose in the world that needs the Good News of salvation.
