Celebrating Jesus' resurrection in prayer

Happy Easter from Bible Society. Christ is risen; He is risen indeed!

But the angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.'
(Matthew 28.5–7, ESV)

Lord Jesus, at this Easter time we pray that you will:

• talk with us as you talked with Mary in the garden, breaking into our world in glory;
• share our lives as you shared breakfast with your disciples, filling us with purpose;
• walk with us as you walked on the Road to Emmaus, so that our hearts burn within us at your words

May your empty tomb fill us with hope, and our meetings with you fill us with joy.

Thank you for praying with us. We deeply value your intercessions on our behalf as we seek to share God's word at home and around the world.
