I was nominated to give the prayer before Easter dinner tomorrow so I thought I would share it with you, as well. May you all have a blessed holiday with your family and friends celebrating the life of our Risen Savior.
God, we love you.
We recognize that Easter symbolizes your infinite mercies and the ultimate sacrifice...for us. Today, as our family gathers together in fellowship, we celebrate that your son, and our savior, is risen, and give thanks to Him for opening the gate to everlasting life.
May we always keep near the cross.
We have peace, for you forgive and forget our trespasses. Purpose, for you direct our steps. Joy, for you triumph over evil. Love, because the Holy Spirit resides in our hearts, and hope, as you promise to come again and take us home.
May we always give thanks.
Lord God, holidays are a great reprieve to stop our busy schedules and honor you, but we also want to know more of you in our everyday lives. We yearn to experience your spirit leading us to growth in our faith and we long for you to flood every aspect of our existence with your glory and love.
May we always desire to know you more.
Thank you for this tangible reminder that Jesus sacrificed His life for us, prevailed over both death and sin, and will forever reign at your side.
May we never forget.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
