Easter Prayer

Dear Father in Heaven,     

                                                            

Sunday morning is here!  This is the very day in history we have anxiously awaited!  The day of our dear Savior’s return from the grave!  Death has been overcome!  The consequences of sin will no longer be!   Because of this great day, we will receive a resurrection and a restoration of all things.  Because of this happy day peace will return to our earth and the lamb and the lion will lie together in peace. 

 

There will be healing and a great hope for all of thy injured children.  Because of this day, light and life will again be in and through all things.  Anger and hatred will have place no longer.  Love in the hearts of thy tender children will increase. 

   

Brother and sister, father and mother – all will be gathered in from wherever they’re wandered; restored to hope in the bonds of eternal families.  Endowed with power, they’ll go forth from holy temples, their lives consecrated and given unto thee. 

Jesus Christ is the Lord of our salvation.  He is our Savior, our Holy King!  He is the Creator and our great Redeemer; our Exemplar, the Life and Light of all things! 

 For one exquisite moment – he bore the crushing weight of all our burdens!  All heaven and earth wept and groaned in disbelief.  Yet he overcame and rose into thy presence, with great power and healing in his wings!

Great God of heaven, thou art our loving Father.  Thou hast offered that which was most precious unto thee!  Thou art the one whose worthy Son was given.  Like Abraham of old, who gave his son to thee.

Dear Father, thy presence is now before us!  The whole plan was for us to return home to thee.  For this privilege, sacred ordinances are preformed in holy temples.  For this, the Savior gave his life and set us free!  

Together, the Gods of heaven have descended, to effectuate the great rescue of mankind!  Surely the Fathers have saved the generations, with the collective love and power of eternity! 

How great is the goodness of our God!!  How great our amazement and thanksgiving!  We will sing praises and love unto thee forever!   We give our whole souls as offerings unto thee!!
