A Prayer

Father,

Thank you for what you gave.  Thank you for giving me life through the sacrifice of your own son.  I don't deserve your mercy, but I need it every second.  I don't deserve the grace you gifted to me all those Easters ago and I don't deserve the grace you give me today.  I praise you because you are love.  You love me everyday with a love more powerful than I can ever hope to understand.  I want to honor you with my life but I can't do that alone.  I need your help.  You never stop giving to me and I never stop taking.  I am a selfish child and you are a continually gracious Father.

You alone are worthy of awe, praise and worship.  You are more than life and more than death.  You proved that to us by coming here and living a perfect life.  A life like I can never live.  You came  back from a cruel death to show that you are not human, you are God.

Thank you for your majesty.  Thank you for your all consuming power and might.  Thank you for choosing me.  I love you my dear Father.

In Jesus' precious and beautiful name I pray.  Amen.


Jesus gave His life for me about 2,000 Easters ago and I gave my life to him 19 Easters ago.  I love my life in Him.
