God of the empty tomb, I know that Easter does not mean the work of seeking stops. Instead, you are now on the loose—out in the world, anywhere and everywhere. So my seeking only continues, as I look for your fingerprints all around me. Give me clarity for the things I seek, and the energy to continue the work. Amen.

Holy God, I could write a novel about the joys in my life—the things that jumpstart my heart, the things that make me feel most alive. What a gift! Tie a string from the center of my soul to those sources of life-giving energy, that I might never lose my way. Amen.

God of the journey, I have spent the last six weeks walking this Lenten path, seeking after you. This seeking has led me deeper into faith and closer to you. So as I reflect back on this Lenten season, help me appreciate the lessons that have been learned. Help me carry that same curiosity into the coming days. With joy in my heart, amen.

Mary found you in the garden. I find you in music, in crowded tables, in the feeling of coming home. I find you in the sunrise, in quiet mornings with the dog stretched over my lap. I find you in the children’s choir, in a warm cup of coffee, in Communion breadcrumbs scattered all around the floor. I find you all over the place, holy God. Keep meeting me there. Amen.

Risen God, you bring us with you on Easter Sunday, giving us new life—a renewed hunger for faith, a louder curiosity, a more vibrant sense of self. Whatever it is for each of us, help us recognize the holiness in that newness. Help me see the gift in this season. Amen.

God of our best days and our worst days, this week is laden with emotions. I feel the joy and the fear of Palm Sunday. I feel the grief and the love of Maundy Thursday. I feel the pain and the injustice of Good Friday. Help me to sit with these emotions instead of running from them. Allow me to be present to the full story so that I might be present to you. Amen.

Jesus, you know that the world can be a scary place. Our human capacity for cruelty shows up in full force this week. So as we wade through the heaviness of your final days, help me learn from the heaviness in my own life. What am I afraid of? How can I invite you into that fear? Is that fear trying to teach me anything? I need you. Every day, I need you. Amen.

Gracious God, it’s easy to give love. It’s sometimes harder to receive it. You washed the disciples’ feet, which was an intimate and generous way of saying to them, “I love you.” Do I do anything as generous as this? Can I love my neighbors more? Can I love you more? Can I love myself more? Show me how to wash their feet. Show me how to love more freely. Amen.

God of the spark, you weave passion into our hearts for a million different things. Surely this gift is intentional. Surely the passion swirling in my gut is an invitation, a call. Grant me the wisdom to listen to the truth in those rumblings, and the courage to act on them. Amen.

God of the road, you know that our life is a journey—we take one step at a time. As the season of Lent comes to an end, I ask you: where am I headed from here? Is there work you need me to do? Are there relationships you need me to foster? Am I being called? Am I being sent? As Lent winds down, turn my heart to the days that follow so that I may continue journeying with you. Amen.
