A Prayer of Easter Joy

Glorious Jesus,

When all hope seemed lost You broke through the darkness, conquered sin and death, and gave us hope beyond comprehension!

Give us the grace to bring Your hope to the hopeless. 

We thank You and praise You for making us new through Your Resurrection!

May our lives give witness to Your glory and healing grace.

By Your Passion, Cross, and Resurrection You have given us true freedom!

May our hearts be open and ever more deeply surrendered to You,

that we can actively receive this gift of Freedom.

Lord, on the Cross Your everlasting Love for each one of us poured out, reclaiming each one as Your own, your chosen one, Your Beloved.

Send the Holy Spirit to nurture our belief in the Truth You speak and to defend us from the lies that try to keep us from embracing our true identity in You.

Amen! Alleluia!

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
for his mercy endures forever.
Let the house of Israel say,
“His mercy endures forever.”
Let those who fear the LORD say,
“His mercy endures forever.” Psalm 118:1 & 2
