Prayer for Easter Week 2

Rising from the dead God,
In a world full of earthquakes, coal mines, drug cartels, disease and death, you call us to believe that you have conquered such things. We confess that this sort of believing is not easy for us, and yet, you have called us to something far more difficult than just belief. You have sent us into this very same world. The only way we can even imagine attempting such a terrifying task is if you go with us Lord, if you lead us forward in the freedom of your cross and resurrection. In our world captured by the tyranny of cause and effect, make us crazy enough to be your resurrection people. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Wow, so simple and yet utterly profound. I love the part about a cause and effect world, that is so true. It is so hard not to be reactionary in the daily grind. Thanks for this post and the timely reminder!
