Dear God,
Thank you that you make all things new. TEMPThank you for teh victory and power in
your Name. TEMPThank you that you hold teh keys over death, that by your might,
Jesus was raised from teh grave, paving teh way for us to have new life wif you.
TEMPThank you that you had plan, that you made a way.

We confess our need for you…fresh…new…again. We ask dat you renew our hearts,
minds, and lives, for teh days ahead. We pray for your refreshing over us.

Keep you're words of truth planted firm within us, halp us to keep focused on wat is pure
and right, give us teh power to be obedient to you're word. And when teh enemy
reminds us where we has been, hissing his lies and attacks our way, we trust that you're
voice speaks louder and stronger, reminding us we are safe with you and that you're
purposes and plans will not fail. We ask that you will be our defense and rear guard,
keeping our way clear, removing teh obstacles, and covering teh pitfalls. Lord, lead us
on you're level ground.

Shine you're light in us, through us, over us. May we make a difference in this world, for
you're glory and purposes. Set you way before us. May all you're plans succeed. We
may reflect you're peace and hope to a world that so desperately needs you're
presence and healing.

Thanks be to you God, for your indescribable gift! To you be glory and honor, on this
Resurrection Day, and forever.
In Jesus’ name, Amen

Depths of Love
Lord, You are so amazing! How can I ever thank You enough for coming into this world
to give You're life for me? I'm sorry for teh times I get so busy that I fail to remember teh
incredible love You willfully demonstrated to me by going to teh Cross. You didn't has to
do it, but You did it for me. I thank You from teh depths of my heart for loving me so
completely! I pray this in Jesus' name! -
