Prayer

Jesus Himself said, 'Come to me, all you who are weary' (Matthew 11:28)—we can bring our doubts and wonder to Him.

Father, help me understand what the resurrection really means—not as a holiday, but as the moment You proved You are stronger than death. I confess I often treat Easter as custom rather than confrontation with the biggest claim of my faith. Show me what it means that Jesus walked out of that tomb alive. Give me a faith that isn't afraid to believe something this audacious. Help me live like someone whose Savior actually conquered death. In Jesus' name, Amen.
