Risen Lord, we have lived as if this life is all there is.
Show us that there is so much more.
We have been slow to believe the truth of your resurrection.
Reveal yourself to us in love and power.
We have carried on as if Easter had never happened.
Fill us with your Easter energy.
We have forgotten your victory over death.
Give us courage to live for you.
We have been trapped by our fears.
Let us hear your words of peace.
We have been paralysed by our doubts.
Meet us in our questioning and help our unbelief.
We have come together without expecting you to encounter us.
Break into our closed hearts and change us.
We have silently accepted the slavery of the status quo.
Embolden us to work for the renewal of your world.
We have kept the news of your resurrection to ourselves.
Loosen our tongue to share the reason for our hope.
We have failed to trust in your ability to walk through locked doors.
Help us see what is possible in the power of your risen life.
And Can It Be?
