Eleventh Day of Easter
O God,
If it is only by faith
that we can experience
the presence of your risen Son
in our life,
then give us more faith
that we might know him better.
Never let us forget, though,
that the gift of faith enables us
to experience your risen Son
in the reality of his presence.
If it is faith
that lets us experience
what is most real,
then please
increase our faith.
Amen.

O God,
Since, through

we walk in newness of life,
help us to be people
who contribute to the living of life
by other people.

who take life away from others
through
prejudice,
vengeance,
jealousy,
discouragement,
or
apathy.
Let us instead be people
who contribute life to others

Lead us in that freedom to live boldly, to trust fully, and to love completely.
Cause us to live in the world as carriers of resurrection life and love …

Holy Saturday/Last Day of Lent
O God,
As we reflect upon the body of Jesus closed up in his tomb, lead us to ask ourselves how we have tried to put him away, about how we have tried to close him off from our lives.
Have we put him away out of respect, thinking that he is too holy for us to bear and that his ways are too challenging for us to face?
Have we put him away out of fear, afraid of what he might see and of what he might say if he gains access to every corner of our lives?
Have we put him away out of despair, figuring that there is nothing he or anyone else can do about the state of the world or of our lives?
Have we put him away out of disbelief, figuring that he is not who they say he is and that he has no real relevance to our lives?
O God, give us courage today to face the ways that we try to keep Jesus safely closed away; show us that our efforts to keep him in his tomb serve only to keep us in ours.
Even though we, unlike those who put him in his tomb all those years ago, know what is coming tomorrow, prepare us to be surprised and even shocked, to be amazed and even overwhelmed …
Amen

O God,
When we think—when we really think—of all that you have done and of how far you have gone to reveal yourself to us, to enter into relationship with us, and to be with us, we are amazed.
How can we do other than respond to your great acts of making yourself known to us and of showing your love for us with our grateful efforts to open our lives up to you and to respond to your love and commitment with our love and commitment?
And yet we so often fail not only to think constantly of you but to think of you at all.
Forgive us for our ingratitude and for our inattention.
Help us to remember that you are here with us; help us to celebrate your love for us; help us to follow the promptings of your grace and the leadership of your Spirit; help us to think more about you so that we can move toward thinking always about you.

Palm Sunday
O God,
On this Palm Sunday help us to praise Jesus as he really was and is and not as we would like him to be.
Open our hearts to his humility that we might live humble lives—lives that want to serve and to sacrifice because they are inspired by love and grace.
Open our spirits to his determination that we might live determined lives—lives that want to do your will no matter what the cost.
As we tell the truth about Jesus’ humility and determination today, give us courage to ask if we can tell a similar truth about ourselves.

But help us also to keep going forward; help us not to stay at the point at which we have arrived but by your Spirit and love to keep making progress into more love, more grace, more trust, more hope, more peace, and more selflessness.
Thank you for the ongoing excitement of living in your grace; thank you for the perpetual wonder of always having room to grow and farther to go.

Thirty-Third Day of Lent
O God,
Remind us that to repent means to return to you and to turn our lives around.
Having remembered what it means to repent, give us grace and strength to do so.
There are areas of our lives in which we need to turn completely around and go in the opposite direction; help us to make a 180° turn in areas in which we need to go the other way.
But there are also areas of our lives in which we need to turn just a degree or two from the direction in which we are going; there are areas where making the smallest adjustment—the smallest change in perspective, in attitude, in commitment, in awareness, in action—can make all the difference.
In all things, cause our repentance to be guided by the ways, the words, and the Spirit of Christ.
Amen.

O God,
Thank you that by your grace we are allowed to be in your presence.
When Moses spent time in your presence, his face shined so brightly that he had to wear a veil so that other people could stand to be around him. Remind us that in our case if people can’t stand to be around us it’s likely because we are shining our own light rather than because we are reflecting yours.
How brightly do our lives shine as a result of our having been in your presence? If they don’t shine very brightly—or if they don’t shine at all—give us courage to face the reasons why, most of which likely have to do with us.
Your Son Jesus told us to let our light shine before people. Give us your light. Enable us to let it shine.

Help us today truly to celebrate the resurrection of your Son that we might be more fully aware of the wonder of living in the power of the resurrection here and now.

O God,
On the one hand, many if not most of us should have progressed in our relationship with you to the point that we can trust our instincts as being informed by that relationship, as being guided by your Spirit, and as being inspired by your Son.
On the other hand, given that we are always growing and that we are always being formed, help us always to be ready to think on the go; help us quickly to process choices and possibilities and to think clearly about how you would have us to be and what you would have us to do.
May we be mature enough to trust our instincts.
May we be wise enough not to trust them completely.

We must face the negative in us—the sinful attitudes and motives that lead us to do what we should not do and not to do what we should do.
But having faced, confessed, and repented of them, help us not to dwell on them.
Instead, move us toward what is positive and beneficial. Develop in us a single-minded devotion to accepting your love for us and to growing in our love for you.
By your Spirit and grace, work in us to eliminate the negative and to accentuate the positive.
Amen.

A Prayer for Tuesday, April 1, 2014
Twenty-Fourth Day of Lent
O God,
Thank you for that deepest place within us where you touch us and where we touch you.
Make us more and more conscious of that place so that we can become more and more conscious of you.
When we are lonely, hurt, confused, or afraid, remind us to return to that place so we can be assured of your loving presence.
Amen.
