prayer for Easter from Roddy Hamilton.

Prayer for Easter:
Believe the Wonder
(inspired
by the events in John 21: 1-18)
God,
empty
tombs and risen
lords
stones
that have rolled
and
resurrection,
for some
it is easy to believe
for others
it is just daft
but for
most
we wonder
we wonder
what might be possible
and God
if love is
the greatest power in the universe
we wonder
what might
be possible
if love
chooses to carry on loving
even those
who try and kill it
what might
be possible
and if
love decides to give of itself
for the
sake of others
what might
be possible
so in our
wonder
and our
longing for such a love as this
that
changes things
may we
dare to believe
in what
seems impossible
and dare
to live
impossible
lives
that hope
beyond death
but
believe in life before death
may we
life this kind of love
that dares
to work for justice
and the
fullness of life for everyone
dare to
work for peace
and the
fullness of peace for everyone
because we
believe in love
which has
become
the most
powerful thing in the universe
because it
gives of itself
God
may we
make time
this
season of renewal
and life
to wonder
and wonder
what love
might make possible
in us. Amen.
