Twenty-Sixth Day of Easter
O God,
While we look forward to the day when we will be raised to be for all time the most whole and complete versions of ourselves that we can be, we acknowledge that we cannot know what that life will be like. We read in your Book that our resurrection bodies will be like that of Christ our Lord—and that is enough for us to know.
Let our anticipation of that coming life inspire us, but keep us from needless and pointless speculation about what it will be like.
Instead, help us to focus our attention and energy on living the life that is ours to live now; help us to remember that we have already been raised to walk in newness of life and help us actually to live as people who have been raised to new life in Christ.
Let us think like people who have been raised to walk in newness of life.
Let us talk like people who have been raised to walk in newness of life.
Let us forgive like people who have been raised to walk in newness of life.
Let us trust like people who have been raised to walk in newness of life.
Let us hope like people who have been raised to walk in newness of life.
Let us act like people who have been raised to walk in newness of life.
Let us help like people who have been raised to walk in newness of life.
Let us live like people who have been raised to walk in newness of life.
Amen.
