An Easter Prayer
Jesus, you have overcome death
And conquered every fear I could imagine
Help me to live each day remembering that You are alive
That You are bigger than anything or any situation
And that Your power is real
Jesus, you're my hero and I'm walking with you.
Amen.

This Easter we are reminded of the unconditional love God has for us, as well as the
power He has over death and that it's more than just traditions like Easter eggs and
bunnies. Jesus died on a cross out of love for us, and then He overcame death.
This Easter, we pray to have a sense of how powerful that act was. As we head into a
busy Easter season, we pray:
Lord, thank you for all you have done for us. Each day you provide us with all the things
we need. You give us strength. You give us friends, family, and more. I don't always
understand your ways, but I do know that you always understand me, because you
created me. You know my every thought, hope, and desire. As we head into Easter, the
love you have for each of us appears to me as deeper than I will ever be able to grasp.
No matter how I look at you, know that you made huge sacrifices to set us free. I know I
do not always choose what is right, God. I know that I make huge mistakes, and
sometimes I make them over and over. I am so far from perfect, but you know that, Lord.
You see all my imperfections. Yet, you choose to love me despite all of the things I do
wrong. I pray that I can make myself better in your eyes each and every day.
Lord, Easter is about reminding me of your sacrifice and reminding me that we are all
saved by you. And yet, your sacrifice also teaches us so many new lessons. You teach
me every day how to be a little more like you.
Easter reminds me that many of the problems I face here are so small when I think
about the challenges you faced, when praying in the garden of Gethsemane. Like the
everyday things I think are so important sometimes, my problems are also just temporal;
part of this time, but not part of a time in the future. Easter reminds me that there are
sometimes bigger problems to overcome.
I only hope that the lessons I learn this Easter are ones I can take with me. I hope that
you will help me show others love like you have shown me - purely unconditional. I pray
that you will give me the strength to make hard decisions when I have to choose
between the right thing and the easy thing. And I hope that you will hold me up when I
have to make sacrifices in order to make sure people see your light above all. I hope I
never forget what you have done for me and for those around me. I pray that I can
always be appreciative.
Lord, there is nothing like Easter to remind me of why I'm a Christian. Lord, I ask for you
to continue to speak to me in ways I can see, and I ask that you help me keep my eyes
open so I can always see your path in front of me. Let me always have your words and
your kind heart so that I can be a light to lead others to you.
In your name, Amen.
