Easter Prayer — God of New Life
God of New Life, We give you thanks that through the life, death and resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ, you have shown us how to live, to work and to love.
Lord, grant us your peace, enabling us to walk humbly each day with you.
God of New life, You entered into our everyday: our lounge rooms, our classrooms and our boardrooms. Often we have been deaf to your voice, blind to your activity and slow to follow in your ways.
Lord, grant us your mind, to discern what is good and life giving.
God of New life, You stood against injustice and oppression despite the ultimate cost. We pray for the work of agencies around the world, confronting injustice and bringing the Good News to the poor.
Lord, grant us your strength to stand for hope and justice for all.
God of New life, You have rescued us from the final word of death, enabling a new story for your people and the earth.
Lord, grant us your courage to live each new day in your grace and the freedom of your new creation. Amen
