Megan's prayer: Andy Cloninger's "Walk On"

I enjoy being in control of my life. Giving up this control, trusting someone with my life, and becoming vulnerable is very hard for me.

I admire the trust the Jesus had in his father. Although the path that God laid out for him was a hard path to follow, Jesus walked on.

I hope to give up that control in my life, to trust God completely with where he leads me - knowing that his plans for my life are much better than anything I could come up with.

Chris' prayer: Andy Cloninger's "Walk On"

Lord, you were worn out and
Lord, you felt like this before

Strangely enough, even though I have absolutely no idea what it means, it is somehow easier for me to think of Jesus Christ as fully God. I often forget that He was fully man as well, and experienced the same emotions that I feel today. He, too, was worn out after a long day. He, too, experienced sadness, fear, pain, as well as joy, hope, strength. He, too, wasn't sure about what He was being called to do. No matter what I'm feeling, I need to remember that my God has, too, felt these same emotions. He knows what I'm going through.

I'm not alone, no, I'm not alone
I have a God who's felt this way before

Catie's prayer: Andy Cloninger's "Walk on"

Still you walked on

I think for me sometimes this is the hardest part. While most of time I am relatively driven, there are other times I just want to throw in the towel. However, Christ endured more the harshest punishment known to man, and he continued to walk on, he continued to forgive, he continued to love, even to the point of death. He walked on for you, for me, for all of us. Holy week is a time that we focus in on the great sacrifice Christ made out of love. We focus on how much God loves us. In my mind, there is nothing better to focus on as we approach the celebration of the resurrected Christ.
