Sin

WEEKLY MEDITATION 14-20 APRIL 2025

He has risen!

During this holy week, especially this week, Lord, we thank you for coming into our world as the light and the way. We thank You for taking our sins upon Yourself. We are not worthy, Lord, but we know God loves us. You love us. So, we ask that you help us understand your word through the guidance of the Holy Spirit and open our hearts and minds so that we may incorporate your word into our daily lives. Jesus, we thank you for your peace and comfort. Your wisdom, guidance, grace, and forgiveness. Your provision, blessings, and healing. You are our rock and salvation. Please help us to see your blessings in our lives and give us a spirit of gratitude to you and for you. Thank you for taking our sins up on you and giving us everlasting life. As we reflect on Your resurrection, fill our hearts with gratitude. Thank You for the gift of salvation and the hope it brings. Help us to live each day in thankfulness and joy. In Jesus’ name, we pray.

He has risen! He has risen, indeed!

– Amen
