Compassion of the Son of God
(Prayer Walk thro John 3-5)
Backgrounder: Jesus’ ministry
is not reserved for the temple.
At any time and in all places
He is ready with a word and a
healing touch. Nicodemus comes
by night seeking answers and finds
the miracle of the second birth.
The Samaritan woman comes
seeking water at the well and
leaves to tell her city about a
source of living water that will
never run dry. The paralytic at
the pool finds that even 38 years
of lameness is no obstacle to
the miracle-working Son of God.
Jew or Samaritan, religious leader
or religious outcast… Jesus’
Compassion knows no bounds.
Dear Lord Jesus, You show in
Your earthly ministry your deep Compassion with words & deeds.
Help us Emulate Your Compassion;
Help us Respond to Your Love;
Help us Turn to You always;
Help us Spread the Good News &
Help us Follow the Father. Amen
Lord, we’ll Respond to Your Love:
For God so Loved the world that
He Gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him
shall not perish but have eternal
life. God did not send his Son
into the world to condemn it,
but to save it (John 3:16-17).
Lord, it is hard to comprehend
love so great as Yours. You laid
down Your life for me so that I can
live forever with You. I ask You
to help me to lay down my life
fully for U in serving Your purpose
here on earth. My response to
Your first loving me is to Love You
Wholeheartedly in return. Amen.
Lord, we’ll Turn to U for U Satisfies:
Jesus answered: If you knew who
it is who says to you: Gives Me
a drink, you would have asked
Him and He would have given you
living water… Whoever drinks the
water I give them will Never Thirst.
Indeed the water I give them will
become in them a spring of water
welling up to eternal life (Jn4:10-14)
Lord Jesus, You are the only one
who can Satisfy the deep longings
of my soul. Remind me nothing
in this temporal world can bring
lasting fulfilment to an immortal
soul. The life that You give is my
source of continual refreshment.
Teach me the holy habit of Looking
to You alone for whatever my soul
is thirsty for. And make me a source
of encouragement and help those
who are spiritually dry. Amen.
Lord, we’ll Spread the Good News:
The woman left her water jar
beside the well and went back
to the village and told everyone:
Come and Meet a man who told
me everything I ever did! Can this
be the Messiah? So the people
came streaming from the village
to See Him (John 4:28-30).
Lord, forgive me for times when
my excitement over knowing You
has waned. I want others to know
You and experience your work
in their lives. Use me to Spread
the Good News. I pray that I will
be so amazed by what you reveal
to me that I will not hesitate
to share my hope with those
who don’t yet know You. Amen.
Lord, we will Follow the Father:
Jesus explained: I tell you the truth,
the Son can do nothing by himself.
He does only what he sees the
Father doing. Whatever the Father
does, the Son also does. For the
Father loves the Son & shows him
everything he’s doing (Jn5:19-20)
Lord, I turn my gaze from earthly
circumstances over to You.
Let me see the things of earth
through your eyes and align
myself with your work around me.
I want to honour you in my choices.
Help me know the right thing
to do in every situation and
give me the courage to do it.
Help me to serve you, to build
your kingdom and to grow
spiritually, so that I will be
ready when You return. Amen.
