Prayer of the Day

I sought the Lord and he answered me; From all my terrors he set me free. Psalm 34:4

Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, “Grow, grow.” The Talmud

Be strong, fear not! Our God is coming. Our God will save us Then the blind will see and deaf people will hear. Then will the lame leap like deer and people of who have never spoken will sing.

You show me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy, in your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:8-11

If I say ‘Surely the darkness shall cover me and the light around me become night’ even the darkness is not dark to you. The night is as bright as the day, for darkness is as light to you. Psalm 139.11-12

Thanks be to you O God that I have risen this day To the rising of this life itself. May it be a day of blessing, O God of every gift, A day of new beginnings given. Help me to avoid every sin And the source of every sin to forsake And as the mist

Easter Sunday We have mourned for Christ’s suffering, now we celebrate the joy of his resurrection. May we come with joy to the feast which lasts for ever.  Amen.

Holy Saturday Loving God, help me identify in my life all that should rightly die—tired habits, fruitless longings, old grudges. As you raised Jesus from the grave, resurrect in me faith, hope, and love that I may live in praise of you.  Amen.

Good Friday Creator God, you raise Jesus to new life and promise we who believe in him life with you forever. Help us become bringers of new life to places of death and destruction in our world.  Amen.

Holy Thursday Lord Jesus, remember us when you come into your kingdom. And if we cannot come with you today, keep a place for us tomorrow.
