Prayer based on Matthew 26:31. Themes: Suffering, Prophecy, Betrayal.
Dear Lord,
As I come before you today, I claim the promise that you have given us in your word. You have said that you will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered. I know that this promise is true, and I trust in your word.
Lord, I pray that you will help me to stay strong in my faith, even when I am faced with trials and challenges. I know that I may stumble at times, but I trust that you will always be there to pick me up and guide me back onto the right path.
Thank you for your love and your grace, and for the promise that you have given us. I pray that you will continue to bless me and guide me in all that I do, and that I will always remain faithful to you.
In Jesus’ name, I pray,
Amen.
Verse: Then Jesus said to them,“All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘ I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
Matthew 26:31
This is a Promise. The verse is a prophecy that the disciples will stumble because of Jesus, as it is written in the Old Testament.
