As we walk through Holy Week, I want to share a daily journal that I have written. Hopefully, each day we will be challenged to spend a little time reflecting on the importance of Holy Week. I hope you will join me. ~OC

Monday: Cleansing the Temple

Scripture: Matthew 21:12–17

Thoughts/Teaching:
Jesus clears the temple, confronting corruption and misplaced priorities. His passion for holiness reveals that worship must be genuine. Our hearts are now His temple—what needs to be cleansed?

Prayer:
Holy God, search my heart. Remove anything that dishonors You—habits, thoughts, or distractions. Make my life a place of true worship. Amen.

Journaling Prompts:

• What “clutters” my spiritual life?
• Are there habits that hinder my relationship with God?
• How can I create space for God’s presence?
