Prayer

We just learned our SuperVerse, Philippians 3:10a. Paul talked about knowing Christ intimately and experiencing His mighty power. Paul didn’t only want this for himself, he wanted all believers to know and experience God’s mighty power! He wrote a prayer about this in Ephesians, which is another book of the Bible.

Read Ephesians 1:19-20:

I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe Him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.

This is what our lesson is about—knowing and celebrating Jesus’ resurrection and sharing the Good News of Jesus’ power and resurrection with others! Before we pray, take a moment to think of one or two people you could share the Good News with. If you can think of more than two people—that’s even better!

Allow some time for thought and silent prayer, then pray aloud:

Dear Jesus, we thank You for Your sacrifice on the cross, and we celebrate Your resurrection from the dead. The best thing we can do to show our thanks is to share the Good News with others so they can know You and the incredible greatness of Your power in their lives. Help us to be bold in sharing Your love with others. In Your name we pray, Amen.
