Take a Moment Prayer : Week of Apr 12
You are the joy of my life, O Lord. Waking up every morning to your glorious presence welcoming me to the day gives me peace…assuring me that this will be a good day. I know I do not need to fear what tomorrow will bring because you are by my side every day. But you know me, Lord, and you know fear can get the best of me sometimes. Forgive me and help me if I should be overcome by painful or distracting circumstances that hide your presence from me right when I need you most. Help others, Lord, who are overcome with fear because of, but not limited to…tragedy, illness, financial struggles, social threats near and far, and death. Free them from their fear. Help them to trust you to find peace. Guide me so as to be a calming presence to those who need to know you are near. Breathe on me breath of God…lead me this day in all your ways. Amen.

“After the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.” (Matthew 28:1)
Jesus was gone…it was over. That’s probably what Jesus’ disciples and loved ones thought. Even though Jesus spoke of his resurrection prior to his death, what they saw with their own eyes, told them it was over. The world did not stop upon his death. There continued to be new days. Life would go on.
At dawn on the first day of the week after Jesus’ death, two women journeyed to the tomb where they placed the body of Jesus. It was the first day of the rest of their lives, and things were looking and feeling very grim to them.
