DAY 2
MORNING PRAYER
Happy Easter! Alleluia! Lent is over and it
is now time to celebrate the great joy of the Easter Season. Jesus
destroyed sin by destroying the consequences of sin which is death. Death
loses in the Resurrection! Jesus’ Resurrection takes away the effects of
all sin. This is the meaning of Easter! Easter means that
nothing can keep us from the joy that God wants to give us.
Lord,
Help me to experience the joy that only Your
Resurrection can bring.
Help me to let you transform every cross and burden in
my life into joy.
Lord,
May Your joy fill my life and be my strength in all
things.
Through Christ our Lord,
Amen
