A PRAYER FOR EASTER

As we gather in various Houses of Worship during this sacred weekend, captivate our hearts afresh with the power of Your love and a deeper reality of what You have accomplished on our behalf. May you hear the roar of a grateful people as we worship You, applaud You, proclaim You and allow You to live through us an Easter declaration – All forms of death have been swallowed up in Your Forever Raised Life!

We join our voices in worship and we lift up a unified prayer for the Churches in our neighborhoods. In every place You are honored, in every place where the Gospel will be shared this week, may many prodigals return to the Father’s embrace! May many who are unsaved receive and embrace the Good News!  May the impact  of our worship and the fruit of the proclamation of the Gospel overflow our buildings and flood our cities – for Your Kingdom’s sake and for Your glory.

 ENCOURAGEMENT

It’s easy to smile at a cheerful person, but how much greater the blessing to try to cheer up a discouraged or angry person. Joyfulness is contagious! Paul writes in his letter to the Romans (1:1-12), “For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you, that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each others faith, both yours and mine.” Share your joy with others at your house of worship this week; God will smile on you!
