Heavenly Father,

On this holy Easter day,

We come before you in awe and gratitude,

Lifting our hearts to you in humble reverence.

We praise you for the gift of your Son,

Jesus Christ,

Who left the glory of heaven to walk among us,

Bringing your love,

Wisdom,

And truth into our lives.

Jesus,

We reflect on the ministry of our Lord,

Who healed the sick,

Comforted the weary,

And forgave the sinner.

Through his teachings,

He revealed the heart of your kingdom,

A kingdom of peace,

Justice,

And boundless grace.

We thank you for the life he lived,

A life of compassion,

Humility,

And unwavering faithfulness.

Yet,

As we remember his earthly journey,

We also recall the weight of the cross he bore for us.

Jesus endured the pain of betrayal,

Humiliation,

And suffering,

Carrying the burden of our sins upon his shoulders.

In his death,

We see the ultimate expression of love,

A love that knows no limits,

That reaches into the depths of human brokenness,

Redeeming us and calling us back into your embrace.

But Lord,

Today we rejoice in the triumph of the resurrection.

We celebrate the victory of Jesus over sin and death,

For the tomb is empty and the chains of despair have been broken.

In his rising,

We find the promise of new life,

A life filled with hope,

Renewal,

And eternal joy.

O God,

Let the miracle of Easter transform our hearts.

Help us to live as resurrection people,

Embracing the life and light of Christ within us.

Grant us the courage to follow his example,

To love as he loved,

And to forgive as he forgave,

And to share the good news of his salvation with the world.

As we look ahead,

May the hope of Easter sustain us in our journey.

When trials come,

Remind us of the power of your victory.

When doubts arise,

Reassure us of your unchanging presence.

And when we falter,

Lift us up with the promise of your grace.

We give you all the glory and honor,

O Lord,

For the gift of Easter and the hope it brings.

With hearts full of praise,

We commit ourselves anew to your service,

Walking in the light of your love each day.

We pray all this in the mighty and glorious name of our risen Savior,

Jesus Christ.

Amen.
