Creator God, you have entrusted us with the care of your good earth
and remind us that all things belong to you.
Open our eyes to the beauty of all you have made and stir in us a spirit of wonder and responsibility.
Give us thankful hearts and quiet trust, that we may cherish your creation and work to protect it,
trusting always in your loving provision, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

Merciful God, whose face shines upon all peoples and whose healing grace knows no bounds,
look with compassion upon your children who wait by pools of hope for restoration and new life.
Grant us the courage to rise when you call, taking up our mats and walking in faith,
that all nations may see your saving power and sing for joy at your righteous guidance.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen

O Lord, from whom all good things do come:
Grant to us thy humble servants,
that by thy holy inspiration we may think those things that be good,
and by thy merciful guiding may perform the same;
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen

Almighty God, our faithful Shepherd, who leads us beside still waters and restores our weary souls:
grant us grace to hear and recognize your voice amidst life’s clamour,
that we may follow where you guide and rest secure in your unfailing grip;
through Jesus Christ our risen Lord, who knows us by name.
Amen

Lord of second chances, like Peter by the morning sea, we stand before you in need of your grace.
You’ve lifted us from depths we never thought we’d escape and turned our mourning into dancing.
This week, help us remember that your love remains steady even when our faith wavers.
When you ask, ‘Do you love me?’ let our hearts respond with simple truth,
not in grand promises, but in faithful action.
And like the dawn breaking over Galilee, let your joy come fresh each morning.
For you have turned our weeping into joy and clothed us with gladness.
Amen

Risen Lord, we give thanks and praise for our many blessings.
You know our point of need and you meet it. Because of you we have reason to rejoice.
You opened our hearts and blessed us with your peace. Thank you, risen Lord.
Because of you we live and grow in witness to your love.
We praise your Holy Name.
Amen

Risen Lord, on this glorious morning, we stand in awe like those first witnesses at the empty tomb.
Just as the women discovered the stone rolled away,
roll away the stones of doubt and fear from our hearts.
Let the truth of your Resurrection power our lives with purpose and hope.
We rejoice that in you, we too shall be made alive.
For you reign until all enemies are under your feet, and death itself is destroyed.
Hallelujah! Amen
