     Gracious Heavenly Father, we triumphantly enter this day of victory over death.
     Lord, on this resurrection day of Jesus, we rejoice and rejoice continually in Your glorious and triumphant victory over death. For, Your victory is our victory.
     Lord, may we be confident and walk by faith and not by sight. Transform our hearts, bring healing, and help us to live out the new life with a renewed hope.
     Lord, let our faith in You, the Risen Christ, remain with us not only today but the days ahead. Let our spiritual growth and a fresh beginning we received from You, help us to live by it, live in it and live for it.
     Lord, fill us with Your Spirit who gives life, revive us in our spiritual deadness, and empower us to live according to Your will. 
     Lord, let Your presence be evident that You are the Lord who has spoken and performed it.
     In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
