Summary

0:00.0	Welcome to the Prayers of Rest podcast. I'm your host, Asherita 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.
0:34.9	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
0:49.6	to 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 through
1:03.1	the love of Jesus was so meaningful and rich to our community that gathered together to pray
1:09.8	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. Matthew chapter 27, but Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit
1:52.0	so let's begin by reciting God's goodness Jesus such a scene is just too much, too much for us. You were sinless,
2:06.1	the spotless, perfect lamb of God slain for our sins. It was our sins that you took on yourself.
2:15.3	It was not just the physical suffering, although that in itself
2:19.8	would make us turn our face away. It was also the spiritual suffering of having your father
2:25.8	turn from you, and yet alone on that cross, bearing the heaviness of the sins of the world
2:33.3	on your shoulders, you continued, second by second,
2:37.8	to stay there because of love. You are so good. Jesus, we worship you. We praise you. You are the
2:47.1	Lamb of God slain for the sins of the world.
2:50.9	We do not deserve such love, such generosity, such goodness, such faithfulness.
