Description
In reviewing the previous weeks events (holy Week) and the threat to himself, Peter realises that he still loves Jesus. He falls into remorse and begging forgiveness.
Prayer: After Peter’s Denial.
Matthew 26:69-75 leaves Peter weeping bitterly over his betrayal of Jesus. This is a prayer that he might have prayed later that night, after he had calmed down a bit.
