The people praise Jesus today, and we will echo the words the people shout as Jesus enters the city of Jerusalem: “Hosanna!” Hosanna is a word found in the Book of Psalms and is a cry for help. It means, “Save us, we pray!” We have all experienced challenges. we sometimes feel alone in our struggles, not realizing that God is present in all those moments of difficulty, ready to listen to our cries, and respond to our prayers.
