Holy Saturday is a day of waiting between the cross and the resurrection.

On this day, the Church keeps silence. Jesus lies in the tomb, and the promise of Easter has not yet been revealed. Holy Saturday speaks to all who know uncertainty, grief and waiting. It reminds us that God is present even when nothing seems to be happening, and invites us to wait with hope, trusting that God is at work beyond what we can see.

Bible reading: Matthew 27:59-60
‘So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. He then rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and went away.'

Prayer

God of quiet faithfulness,
as we wait in the stillness of this day,
hold us in your care.
Be close to all who wait in grief, fear or uncertainty.
Teach us to trust your presence
when the way forward is hidden
and hope feels fragile.
Keep us faithful in the waiting,
until the light of resurrection dawns.

Amen.

Holy Saturday feels quiet… but quiet doesn’t mean absent. It’s the space between what was and what God is about to do. The waiting. The unknown. The stillness. And yet… God is working.

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalms 46:10

If today feels slow or uncertain, don’t rush it. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is be still… and trust Him. If you need help creating that quiet space,
our Be Still and Know song and daily devotionals are here to walk with you. Link in the bio on our page. 💜

What are you trusting God with in this season of waiting?
