Let us pray:
Lord Jesus, you overpowered
the control that sickness had
by curing people of their illnesses.
Those who were disabled
were freed to walk again.
You calmed the sea
and showed that you had control
over even nature.
You rose to a new way of living
and showed that not even death
had power over you.
With your power in our lives,
everything that happens to us
can be turned to good.
We ask you this day
to help us to transform our difficulties
and draw goodness
out of what is negative in our lives,
knowing that there is nothing
in life or in death
that can ever separate us
from your love.
Amen.
