Prayer Vigil Resources
Thank you for taking your part in the prayer vigil on this Holy Weekend. Today we join with the global church in meditating on the sufferings of our Lord Jesus and praying for God to end the pandemic causing so much suffering to people today. There are 4 Stations of the Prayer Vigil with Scripture passages to guide us on our journey. Take time to read your Bible with each station and reflect on God’s Word. You might want to have a piece of paper with you to reflect on what God is saying to you. You might find it helpful to pray the Lord’s Prayer slowly to begin. Take your time. Let God speak to you as well. May God bless this time and use it for His glory.
