Easter Sunday Evening Prayer with Others
On this special Day…as we celebrate.. with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from JOHN chapter 20– as we consider TELLING OTHERS THE GOOD NEWS about Jesus through 2023.
We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer as the day closes
We REJOICE in the help and blessings He has given this particular Sunday – to us and to others
We ASK for His presence, peace and strength – for ourselves and for others in our church family and our nation and in our world at this time – especially prayerfully supporting the people of Turkey and Syria, Ukraine and other parts of our world in deep need at this time
We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways for tomorrow
