Journey of Love Prayer
Son of God, we bow down before you as we gather to mark Palm Sunday – your triumphant entry into Jerusalem. We wave and lay down our palm branches as we declare you the King of kings and Lord of lords. On this day, you set on a journey of love. It was a journey to set us free from curses and make us acceptable before God. It was a journey to make us the children of God. We thank you. Amen.
