Easter Prayers For Resurrection Sunday

“Jesus, this morning, we celebrate the history-altering event of Your resurrection. After dying on the cross for each and every one of us, You were raised to life so that we might be raised to life.”

Sharon Hodde Miller

2-The Resurrection of Your Son

Lord, the resurrection of Your Son has given us new life and renewed hope. Help us to live as new people in pursuit of the Christian ideal.

3-Power of Resurrection

” Father, I thank You for the resurrection power of the Lord Jesus Christ. Father, it is good news, it is good news. We just take a moment right now to just thank You. Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You not only died on the cross for our sins, but You rose again from the dead so that we could have a victorious, overcoming, Christian life here on earth as it is in heaven. Father, let everyone walk in the power of that resurrection truth. I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

4-Good Friday Prayer

Lord God, Jesus cried out to you on the cross, “Why have you forsaken me?” You seemed so far from his cry and from his distress. Those who stood at the foot of the cross wondered where you were, as they saw Jesus mocked and shamed, and killed. Where were you then? Lord God, we, too, ask where you are, when there is trouble and suffering and death, and we cry out to you for help. Be near to us, and save us so that we may praise you for your deliverance. Lord God, we wait, on Friday, for the resurrection of Sunday, and sometimes our lives seem a succession of Fridays and we cannot see what is “Good.” Teach us to call your name as Jesus did. Make us to trust in you like little children. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

5-Journey Into the Presence of God

Lord, death could not hold You. And because of You, the resurrection, we, too, can live. Thank You that the grave is only a journey into the presence of God. You have removed the sting of death and empowered this thing called life. Now I will live in Your presence forever. Amen.

6-Thank You for the Miracle of Life

Father, Thank You for the miracle of life—abundant life here, and eternal life with You in Heaven. Help me celebrate that life every day as I seek You and follow Your plan for my life. Today, I say with the Apostle Paul, “Where, O death is your victory? Where, O death is your sting?” In Jesus’ name, Amen.

7-Thank You for the Stunning Wisdom

“Lord, we thank You for the stunning wisdom that we find in Your Word. We wouldn’t know how to think were it not for the wisdom on its pages. But we thank You most of all for the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the center of the wisdom of Scripture. We thank You that He is, in this moment, in us and for us and with us, and that gives us a right here, right now, hope.”

Paul Tripp

8-Triumphant victory

Lord Jesus Christ, I rejoice and rejoice continually in Your glorious and triumphant victory over death. For Your victory is my victory. Help me to live by it, in it, and for it. I am grateful to my depths—grateful forever. Amen.

Selwyn Hughes

9-Easter Sunday Prayer

“ God, thank you, for sending Jesus and making a way in the middle, just for me. Today, I give you my life. I turn from everything that’s not like you, and I turn to you. God, heal me, deliver me, change me from the inside out. I accept the resurrection is now an interruption, and I give you my life, in Jesus name, Amen.”

Michael Todd

10-Easter Dinner Prayer

” Creator God and Lord of Life, You who call forth from the darkness of death all those who love You, we rejoice, on this Easter Sunday, in the resurrection from the dead of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Visit our home and this table with Your bright blessing of peace and life. We pause in the midst of this prayer to remember all the holy dead of our family who live now in You and who await the final and glorious resurrection of the dead.

May they and we, because of our faith in You, our God, taste in the victory of life over death. May the Risen Christ, our Lord and Savior, be our guest as we celebrate His resurrection with this Easter Sunday dinner. Bless those whose work to prepare this meal has truly been a work of prayer, and bless all of us who shall share it with Easter love and joy. May You then bless this table and this food, and each of us in Your holy name. Amen.”
