A Prayer for the Second Sunday of Easter

Heavenly Father,

On that first day of the week, when fear locked the doors, You came to Your disciples with

words of peace. Lord Jesus, breathe that same peace into our hearts today. Calm our

anxieties, dissolve our doubts, and replace our fear with the assurance of Your presence.

May our lives bear witness to Your resurrection power, and may we walk each day in the joy

and hope that You are alive and with us always.

Amen.
