Here’s a
prayer of commitment and petition for Palm Sunday from the Weekly Worship (previously Monthly
Prayers) page of the Christian Aid website.
Palm Sunday Prayer
Blessed
is the king who comes in the name of Lord!
Gracious God, as we stand at the gates of the city,
give us grace to recognise the king we proclaim,
and courage to be a part of your kingdom -
even when it goes against our ways and the ways of the world,
even when it leads us where we do not want to go.
Empower
us to free ourselves from the tempting alternatives
of power and wealth and status,
and embolden us to live lives of thanksgiving and praise.
of power and wealth and status,
and embolden us to live lives of thanksgiving and praise.
Peace in
heaven and glory in the highest heaven!
