Resurrected Christ, you meet us where we are and at the place where we least expect you. While we may not see you physically, we can feel your presence. Help us, like the two Mary’s to have our eyes opened to see what you would have us see and to be excited about the possibilities that are before us because of what you have done for us. Help us to live lives that are dead to sin and alive to you. Let us shed off the weights that have been holding us back from running the race that is set before us and stride out excited, energized and empowered to share your love with the world. May our ministries be filled with your Spirit, our Strength and Redeemer. Amen
