Walking With Jesus. Walking With Children. Walking With Hope.

Holy Week gives us a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and remember the love of Jesus that changes everything. As we follow Him to the cross and into the joy of the resurrection, we’re reminded of the children and families we walk alongside every day.

At Palmer Home, we believe that every step Jesus took was for the sake of the vulnerable—and we have the privilege of joining Him in that work. This Holy Week Prayer Guide was created to help you reflect, pray, and remember why the hope of Jesus matters in every child’s story.

What if hope could begin with a simple prayer this Easter?

As we enter this sacred week, we invite you to pause and reflect on the kind of love Jesus offers—the kind that brings healing, restoration, and new beginnings. It’s a love we see needed every single day.

When children first arrive at Palmer Home, many come with very little—sometimes just a small bag of clothes, sometimes nothing at all. But what they carry most is something far heavier: uncertainty.

One child recently asked on their very first night, “Will I get to stay?”
For a child who has experienced instability, that question holds so much fear.

And yet, it’s in moments like these that hope begins to take root.

This Holy Week, we invite you to pray with us:

• Pray for children entering a new and unfamiliar place—that they would feel safe, seen, and secure.
• Pray for foster families and houseparents—that their homes would be filled with patience, compassion, and love.
• Pray for young adults preparing for independence—that they would step forward with confidence and hope.

For over 130 years, Palmer Home has been planting seeds of hope in the lives of vulnerable children. And we believe prayer is where that hope begins.

Our Holy Week Prayer Guide offers daily reflections and prayers to walk with you through this meaningful week. Each day is an opportunity to slow down, draw near to the heart of Jesus, and lift up the children and families we serve.

As you pray, know this: you are part of the story God is writing in their lives.

And if you feel led this Easter, your generosity can help make these prayers tangible—providing safe homes, compassionate caregivers, and the support each child needs to heal and thrive.

Thank you for walking with us through Holy Week. We are deeply grateful for your prayers and your heart for children.
