All along our pilgrim journey, Lord, we want Jesus to walk with us. Walk with us when our hearts are weighed down with grief. Walk with us when we are feeling lost and alone. Walk with us when it seems that all hope is lost. O, Lord, we want Jesus to walk with us.
Walk with us in this time of prayer as we lift up to you our joys and concerns. We pray for your healing, comforting and guiding presence to surround all who are in need of you this day. We pray that they would know that you are walking right beside them and that they are not alone. Thank you for your presence with us in times of celebration as well as in times of brokenness and pain.
Remind us that we are your Easter people where death does not have the last word, where sins and mistakes do not define us, and where nothing in this world can ever separate us from your great love in Christ Jesus, our Lord. And whenever we forget that we are your Easter people, reveal yourself to us anew and lead us to say in response to your goodness and love, “were not our hearts burning within us?”
Walk with us today and throughout this week in the new direction that you would have us go. Walk with us as we go through seasons of transition and change. Walk with us when we’re not quite sure what the future holds. Walk with us when we don’t feel like we have what it takes to carry on. Walk with us when we’re unsure which road you would have us take.
Walk with us during those times when we are in need of a prayer that can help us move in a more hope-filled and positive direction like this prayer that you taught us to say together…
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
