Summary

If you are struggling with bitterness, or with accepting God's forgiveness, today's episode may bring you a reminder of the peace available with Jesus. You can find peace for your heart that can overtake the hurt and resentment you've held onto, and Jesus is willing you free you of your past regrets as His child, because He loves even His enemies and wants you to feel that same freedom too. Today’s scripture reading is John 18, and we’ll be praying through the Scriptures using the REST form...

0:00.0	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. If you do want to go deeper, I wrote a whole book about it. It's called Uncovering the Love of Jesus.
0:22.9	It's a Lenton Devotional, and you can find it at uncoveringthelove.com. And as a reminder,
0:29.3	I'm giving away some of my favorite things this season in weekly giveaways over on Instagram.
0:35.0	It's easy to enter, and we've been having so much fun over there. So just
0:39.2	head over to my Instagram account. That's at Asherita, and I'll link to that in the show notes,
0:44.8	so you don't have to figure out how to spell it. And you'll find all the details for how to enter to
0:49.9	win there. One more thing. This season's episodes were pre-recorded last year. In the very first
0:56.7	months after the shutdown caused by COVID-19, many of us were isolated at home, and praying
1:02.8	through the love of Jesus was so meaningful and rich to our community that gathered together
1:09.4	to pray live each morning. And yet, I believe that
1:13.1	these prayers are just as relevant today as they were then. But you might notice that the audio
1:18.6	quality is just a bit different. I hope there's still a blessing to you. Now, let's begin. Find a quiet place where you won't be interrupted and take a deep
1:31.2	breath as we enter into God's presence together. Luke chapter 22 verse 49
1:52.0	And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said,
1:55.8	Lord, shall we strike with the sword?
1:58.1	And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
2:02.8	But Jesus said, no more of this, and he touched his ear and healed him.
2:15.3	So let's begin by reciting God's goodness, praising Him for who He is and for what we learn of Him in this passage.
2:24.3	What grace, what love that you in the last moments of your life would reach out and heal your enemy, not expecting anything in return,
2:36.3	not in exchange for a release, not to try to barter your way out of this arrest and trial and
2:42.8	death, but simply out of love for this man. Such love and goodness and kindness far surpasses
2:50.5	anything we've experienced. Oh God, you are good.
