Easter prayers from and for the world

Luke 24:36–49 

Stand among us,
risen Christ Jesus:
bring peace to us again. 

When miracles happen
and we struggle to accept,
show us your presence again.

When death casts its shadow,
frightens and terrifies,
show us life enduring anew.

Stand among us,
risen Christ Jesus:
bring joy to us again. 

When story and scripture
get tangled in our confusion,
show us your Way again.

When the Divine seems far away,
and waiting seems far too hard,
whisper your promise again.

Stand among us,
risen Christ Jesus:
bring hope to us again. 

The words in bold could be spoken by the congregation.
