Gracious God, father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, in whom we receive living hope, may we who have received forgiveness of sins through the Holy Spirit live to set others free, until we enter the inheritance that is imperishable and unfading.
Holy Father, you raised up Jesus Christ as your faithful witness and first-born of the dead. By your Holy Spirit, help us to witness to him so that those who have not yet seen may come to believe in him who is, and was, and is to come.
Sovereign Lord, Father of all in the power of the Spirit, you have called us to follow in the way of your risen Son, and to care for those who are our companions, not only with words of comfort, but with acts of love. Today we pray for our brothers and sisters who have experienced the devastation of tornados, the oppression of injustice, and the suffering of loss. Pour out your Spirit upon us today, so that we might be good stewards of our prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness.
Almighty and everlasting God, who in the mystery of Resurrection established the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ’s body may show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith, and inspire those who have remained in the body to be strengthened and rejuvenated by the holy possibilities resurrection affords. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever as we continue to pray saying:
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Great prayer that touches our souls. Very inclusive of all things on our hearts and minds for Easter.
Thank you so much. Blessings to you!
