MORNING PRAYER

Alan Robbins

Please join me in prayer.

Dear Heavenly Father, from the words of today’s prayer song

“Cast all your cares upon the Lord for He cares for you”

How comforting and uplifting it is to be able to Cast our cares to God for He does care for us. He will help us through our times of need.

What a great uplifting message this song brings as we continue our thoughts throughout the Easter Season. Knowing the power of the Risen Lord and the hope it brings to all Christians, and the life with Jesus in Heaven.

A special prayer for my sister, Linda Graebe, who has recently went to heaven. God, please reach out to hold her family, but also reach out and hold all those that are grieving, for all those that are ill, for all those that are hurting in any way, and prayers for our own needs.

We pray for God’s strength and God’s heart and God’s Peace to those families and leaders in Ukraine and neighboring countries as they fight the evils that surround them.

Let us take a few moments to silently pray for those in need and those on the Church’s prayer list.

Thank you, Lord, as we give God’s Glory ….and Grace…… and Joy….and Refuge…… and Strength….. and Love ….and Peace ….and the Holy Spirit to our community and the world in which we live.

In Jesus name we pray. Amen

Scriptures

John 20:1-10, Mark 15:42-47, I Peter 3:13-18

Gleaning from the Shroud of Turin

Three men appear at the gates of Heaven. St. Peter says, “To get into Heaven, you need to answer, ‘What is Easter?’”
The first man blurts out, “That’s when we gather around the table with our families to eat turkey.”
St. Peter scowls.
The second man replies “Easter is when we put up a tree and give gifts.”
St. Pete throws his hands up in disgust.
The last man says “Easter is when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.”
After His death, they took Him down from the cross, wrapped Him in a shroud, and put Him in a tomb and rolled a rock in front of the entrance.”
St. Pete turns to the other men and says, “This guy knows what he’s talking about.”
And then the man continues, “And He came out three days later and saw his shadow so there were six more weeks of winter.”
