Go quickly to tell the people who need to hear it

Keep the news private unless someone asks

Wait until you can explain everything in detail

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and cannot save myself. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and open my life to you. Be my Lord and my Savior, and lead me in your living hope. Amen.

Receive the Risen Jesus

Lord, revive your Church with the same holy fear and great joy that filled those first witnesses. Wake us from delay, loose our silence, and send us quickly to tell of your risen Son with courage and gladness, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Wake Your Church to Tell the News

Father, when my heart feels both afraid and glad, steady me. Let your peace hold me, let your joy not fade, and help me move with you instead of freezing in uncertainty, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

When Fear and Joy Meet

Pray by naming one fear you carry, one joy God has given, and one person you should tell. Ask God for a simple next step, and ask him to help you take it promptly.

Pray for Courage to Share

Bring these to God: thanks that the resurrection is worth telling; gratitude that fear does not cancel joy; praise for the people who first spoke hope to you.

Thank You for Good News That Moves Us

Lord, place one person on my heart who needs hope. Give me love, clarity, and courage to tell them what you have done, and help me not delay, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Send Me to One Person
