My Lord Jesus,

You perform so many miraculous works so that people may believe. You love us so much.

Thank You for choosing me to follow you. Thank You for saving my life. Thank you for challenging me to carry my cross. Thank You for warming my heart, giving me eyes that see and ears that hear.

Strengthen me to share my testimony so that others may also believe. Grow me to be effective as Your disciple. Continue to lead me to present day Lazarus' and to their stories so that the strong brothers can build up the weak.

Lead me to people I need and to people who need me. Loosen my grip on my ego and pride. Strengthen my grip on Your sword and shield. Grant that I sufficiently empty myself so that I can be filled with Your Spirit.

Grow me into your likeness. Grant that I acknowledge you in all things, giving thanks always, praying without ceasing.

You do all things for good, You are in control. I will not fear. I will be still and filled with peace. It is You I trust and in You I place all my hope.

The Son of Man, the Paschal Lamb, Jesus,

Amen
