Personal Prayer
Praise God as the master even of the grave. Thank the Father that “Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep” (1 Cor. 15:20). Confess your failure to place your life and death fully in the hands of the risen Christ. Commit yourself to standing firm in the victory which Christ has achieved over sin and death and hell. Ask that you will “know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain” (15:58), and so work with extra fervor.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray that your family and friends will be energetic in their living for Christ. Give special thanks for those who already do this.

For the Church
Pray that the people of your congregation will become well-grounded in the basics of the Scriptures, and that they will faithfully live their beliefs.

For the Kingdom
Give thanks for your local law enforcement, fire protection, and emergency personnel, and ask God’s blessing on their work.

For People to Know Jesus
Ask that several non-Christians (name them) will come to believe, and so, at the return of Christ, “bear the likeness of the man from heaven” (15:49).
