Welcome to today's Guided Prayer, where we invite you to find a quiet space to still your mind and body.  

Guided Prayers are a daily 5–10 minute, intentionally created moment to slow down and meet with God—through scripture, reflection, and honest prayer.

It’s not a program you attend.
It’s a pathway you practice.
A guided space where people can stop, breathe, and connect with Jesus—every single day.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In his great mercy, he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Hope in Jesus is not wishful thinking. It's alive. It anchors us in resurrection power. The same spirit that raised Christ from the dead can fill your heart with living hope today. Take these first few moments connecting with God to focus your mind and meditate on that living hope we have in Jesus. What does hope alive in your life look like? Is there a place in your life that feels lifeless or uncertain? A place where hope feels fragile or shaky? Tell your Heavenly Father about it in these next few moments. Verbalize to him why hope feels fruitless or risky there. Then ask him to breathe new hope into that situation, to resurrect what feels broken or lost. Thank you that our hope in you is never lost or misplaced. Revive our hearts today with resurrection joy and confident trust in you. Amen.
