Resurrection Sunday Prayer

“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; ²⁶ and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 

John 11:25 – 26

Oh Gracious and loving Father, by whose power we are created and by whose love we are redeemed. You have called us by name to be yours and in relationship with you.

In the same way that the sun has risen today, please cause your Son, our Lord Jesus to rise again in our hearts,  that we might see and feel the wonder of Your glory and the power of Jesus, new in our lives. 

Please, Lord Jesus, forgive us again for our sin.

We are a people who are full of forgetfulness. We stumble and fail so often. Yet your love is always there, you are full of grace and mercy. Help us walk in the light of Jesus as you are in the light not in the darkness of sin and doubt which we once walked.

We confess to you our need for your forgiveness for….. (take time to consider sins the ones you may be struggling with)

Thank you that your love is so clearly demonstrated again on this resurrection Sunday. That Jesus our Lord has dealt with our sin once and for all. That the slave market of sin no longer bears our name but is in your book of life. Thank you that death no longer has its hold on our lives.

Thank you that you have defeated sin and Satan and death. We have become free through faith in you. Thank you that we are free from the power and penalty of sin and that we have new and everlasting life.

Thank you that while this world is bound to judgement, you in your love have rescued us and set us into your eternal family with Jesus who is both our Lord and brother. Please have mercy on our world, please call my family, my friends and neighbours into this same love that you have shown me. Please Holy Spirit, call them by your power demonstrated in the Gospel that they might be born again. 

Please fill us again Holy Spirit, so that as your church we might live in the power that raised Jesus from the dead. So we might glorify your name, help us to treasure the risen Jesus in our lives and in our loves we pray

The day of Resurrection!
Earth, tell it out abroad;
The Passover of gladness,
The Passover of God!
From death to life eternal,
From earth unto the sky,
Our Christ has brought us over
With hymns of victory
