Lesson Prayer

Lord, you are the Resurrection and the Life. By your victory over the grave you give us the promise of an eternal future with you. In our times of confusion and doubt, we ask that you would come to walk with us. Reveal yourself to us as you did to your disciples long ago, in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
