Welcome to the Prayers of Rest podcast. I'm your host, Ashrida Chuchu, and this season, we're preparing our hearts to celebrate Jesus in the weeks leading up to Easter by praying through the characteristics of Jesus' love. I'm so passionate about this topic that I wrote a whole book about it. It's called Uncovering

the Love of Jesus. It's a Lenton devotional and you can find it at uncovering the love.com.

Of course, you don't need it to follow along with these prayer podcasts, but if you do want to go deeper

into an aspect of Jesus' love, you'll find that helpful. As we pray about uncovering

the love of Jesus together, I also want to show you love in a small, tangible way. So each week

during the season, I'm giving away some of my favorite things to podcast listeners, just like you.

So you can find the prize of the week as well as details for

how to enter the giveaway each Monday morning on my Instagram account at Asherita. That's

A-S-H-E-R-I-T-A-H. I know. I know. I don't have the easiest name to spell. So I'll link to my account in the podcast show notes too.

So entering the giveaway is a breeze.

I hope these giveaways are a true blessing to you.

Now let's begin.

Find a quiet place where you won't be interrupted

and take a deep breath as we enter into God's presence together.

Today's reading is Luke chapter 22 and after an interval of about an hour still,

But Peter said, man, I do not know what you are talking about. And immediately, while he was

still speaking, the rooster crowed. and the Lord turned and looked at Peter.

And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, before the rooster

crows today, you will deny me three times.

And he went out and wept bitterly.

So let's begin by reciting God's goodness, praising him for who he is, for what we learn of him in this
