"I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me
will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never
die."
—John 11:25–26
—John 11:25–26
Our Father, this is a sacred moment because we all must answer
the question, "Am I ready to die?" And not until we're ready to die
are we truly ready to live.
We acknowledge that death is the last thing we want to think
about, but thank You for bringing us face-to-face with reality. Thank You for
the gift of living on earth and the reminder that our days are fleeting. Make
us ready for the harsh moments that are before us, calm our spirits, and remove
our fears.
Thank You for Jesus Christ, who is the answer beyond the grave.
This day, we acknowledge Him as Lord and Savior of life and death.
Now unto Him who is able to keep us from falling, and to present
us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only
wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and
forever.
For Christ is risen indeed. In His name we pray. Amen.

1:24–25.
