Dear God – In this season of Easter hope I know that You have a purpose for me beyond illness, loss or the death of those dear to me.   In prayer please help me find the treasure waiting for me in the darkness. As with the birth, death and resurrection of Your Son, Jesus, the ending of His life was the beginning of a new life with You in Heaven.  May I find that holy treasure and blessing in the dark times in my life. May I be illumined by an ending which in Your grace becomes the beginning for a newer, deeper and richer life in the glorious light of Your love for me.  In faith, Easter Sunday always follows Good Friday.   Amen

If you like this prayer, please share.
