The Morning Prayer

Say to Daughter of Zion, "See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey." The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!"
Matthew 21:5, 9 (NIV)

Heavenly Father, as we awaken to the new day, we remember the humility and gentleness of our King Jesus, who entered Jerusalem not on a mighty steed, but on a humble donkey, fulfilling the prophecy and showing us the way of peace.
May we emulate His humility and gentleness in our interactions with others today. Let us remember to welcome Him into the cities of our hearts, shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!" just as the crowds did on that triumphant day.
Help us, Lord, to cast aside our burdens and worries, laying them at the feet of Jesus, our gentle and humble King. Just as the people spread their cloaks on the road to honor Him, may we offer up our lives as a living sacrifice, honoring Him in all that we do.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
May this prayer guide you and give you peace as you go through your day.
