Prayer of Gratitude on Easter
One: Precious Lord, this side of Lent we are so grateful for your patience with us;
with our shallow confession, our fearful reflection, our longing to be where faith is easier.
All: We are grateful for Easter ~ the gift you came to give,
the life you mean us to have, the heart of our faith and our life together.
~ silent gratitude ~
One: May our gratitude take root in our lives and life together, O God,
that we be braver and more joyful bearers of your grace into the world.
All: Thanks be to God. Amen! ©
